The Tillamook Economic Development Council, Small Business Development Center and numerous community partners embarked on a project to build support for our Tillamook County entrepreneurs. The group applied for and received a grant from the Ford Family Foundation’s Growing Rural Oregon initiative. (See links below for stories and more information.) As part of this project, events are planned to encourage networking between current business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs.
Level Up is a community initiative committed to developing a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem in Tillamook County by strengthening existing small businesses and innovators and support the emergence of new ones.
What is Level Up Tillamook? To facilitate the linking of the varying elements of the entrepreneurial environment – economic development organizations, government agencies, business resource providers, and financial and human capital. Level Up Tillamook then connects growth-minded entrepreneurs to the elements and one to another and to local resources for start-up help, finding financing, how to expand and professional help. “We will gather information about your business and your needs and guide you to the business resources that can best help you,” explained Maria Carillo, Level Up Business Resource Coordinator. This referral service is provided at no cost to Tillamook County entrepreneurs and small business owners. For more information, https://www.edctc.com/levelup-tillamook
