Description
Starve Ups was Oregon's first startup accelerator, and is its only scalerator, taking its membership companies from inception to acquisition. From day one Starve Ups was built with its cornerstone as peer mentoring, which is exactly what Starve Ups stands for, excels at and focuses on as a group. Now, after 15 years in existence they are getting a new look and are further taking “proven peer mentoring for founders” to an even higher level.
