If you’ve been procrastinating, here are the local startup accelerator application deadlines you’re in danger of missing
I get it. You’re busy. You’re building your company. And you meant to get those startup accelerator applications done last weekend. But time just got away from you. Well, you better carve out some time this weekend, or you’re going to miss out altogether.

Beaverton Challenge 2019 applications are closing soon
Each year, the Beaverton Challenge accepts five companies for their accelerator program. They are industry agnostic.

BONUS: Vote for Portland to be part of the Backstage Capital Accelerator
If all goes well, we’ll soon have another accelerator for which to apply, Backstage Capital Accelerator. But not unless you vote for Portland to be one of the host cities.
