Hello! After a hiatus, the StartupBend blog is back. We have some changes to announce about the blog, and some hilarious gifs that we’ve waiting to use. We’ll do that shortly. But first: The unConference is coming!
FBendTECH Coworking presents the third annual Startup Resource Fair, scheduled for 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 6, 2019 at the 1001 Tech Center. This informative and fun event puts all the resources you need to start or grow a business in one location.
You know when you want to tell someone two exciting things at once and it’s hard to decide which one should go first? Welcome to this post. First off, Lora DiCarlo, the sextech startup based right here in Bend, has secured $2 million in seed funding.
BendTECH is hosting the second annual One Tech Meetup to Rule Them All, a meetup of all the meetup groups. If you’re interested in tech and/or startup stuff, then this event is for you. If you’re new to town, it’s a great way to meet people with similar interests. And if you like beer and prizes, then it’s a great way to snag both of those things too.

The amount of information about all the amazing places you could visit is a bit of a blessing and curse. Sure, you can research just about anywhere, but the vast quantities of websites, lists, articles and more can be overwhelming and lead to analysis paralysis. Even when it comes to fun.
This month’s PubTalk has something for everyone–a pitch from an exciting Bend startup, updates from your favorite tea company, resources for business funding and a keynote from David Gooder, the former guardian of Jack Daniel’s brand. That’s right, whiskey.
If that’s not enough, then consider the potential for tater tots. Which, not to overstate it, make the world a better place to live.
Join us to learn more about their company, and tour the BendTECH space and founder’s office. We’ll have a short presentation from Rupie about their product and their future plans.
Sudara is making a big move this year — a literal move. Since its founding four years ago, the Bend-based B-Corp has sold beautiful clothes, and in the process provided employment, job training and funds to women in India who are escaping sex trafficking.
