The Oregon Entrepreneurs Network (OEN) is pleased to announce 16 finalists — from over 60 nominees — for the 2015 OEN Tom Holce Entrepreneurship Awards.

The OEN Tom Holce Entrepreneurship Awards honor the skill, and the courage, it takes for entrepreneurs to create a business out of an idea. They are intended to not only celebrate entrepreneurs, but to highlight their importance to the region’s economy.

After a series of interviews and reviews by expert judging panels, OEN will announce one winner from each category—Launch Stage, Development Stage, Growth Stage, and Entrepreneurial Achievement—on October 22, 2015 during the 22nd annual awards ceremony at the Oregon Convention Center. The Game Changer winner will be determined through an audience vote.

“The entrepreneurs that evolve in the OEN ecosystem are one of the most significant reasons the Oregon region’s economy is thriving,” said Linda Weston, President and Executive Director of OEN. “The OEN Tom Holce Entrepreneurship Awards honors these entrepreneurs’ dedication and success.”

Along with the semi-finalists below, OEN will be honoring the OEN Volunteers of the Year, Mitch Daugherty and Eric Pozzo.
