Filling the Space

With as much empty office, light industrial, and shovel ready space as we have in Corvallis, there is an opportunity to bring jobs to those who need them. From Philomath to Adair Village, there are quality spaces, including state-of-the-art facilities at HP, affordable long-term leases at the Airport Industrial Park, and good store-fronts throughout the region, so the question is, where are the employers?
It's a scary time to be running a business, and with fear we often see paralyzed inactivity. It is the brave who get out and create for themselves possibilities. It is often said "Fortune favors the bold," and indeed many American success stories got their start in times of adversity.
At this time, Willamette Valley tech start-ups are in a very unique position to achieve unprecedented growth. Between the Willamette Valley Angel Conference, programs like Smartups, the BEC and Busines Boot Camp as well as more informal networking opportunities from High Tech After Hours, Beer and Blog, and the Software Association of Oregon put entrepreneurs in position to succeed like no where else.
