The Oregon Executive MBA Alumni Chapter warmly welcomes you to the Third annual Duck Tank. The signature event is an opportunity for entrepreneurs within the local community to pitch their new ventures live in front of a panel of key Portland investment professionals. Join us for a thrilling evening to watch entrepreneurs lay it on the line pitching their unique ideas, listen to judges provide expert advice, and networking. We are pleased to be joined by entrepreneur and Oregon sports legend, Jordan Kent (BS '06), as the event's emcee. The event will begin with a keynote address by Himalaya Rao, Managing Director at Black Founders Matter, on Diversity and Inclusion in Venture Financing.
Duck Tank’s panelists are an esteemed group of investors and influencers from around the Portland investment community. Check out their bios below.
