Report on Oregon’s Capital Ecosystem

Navigating the Ecosystem
The success that businesses have navigating the capital ecosystem depends on many factors.

Scalable companies (software, for example) are more likely candidates for angel and venture
funding that can lead to comfortable exit points. Companies not as easy to scale, like those in the
retail, service, consumer products, and bioscience sectors, do not have as clear a pathway.

In fact, these are the companies that create the most jobs and tend to keep more money in the
state, leading to a more sustainable tax base. With a clear view of all capital opportunities,
we can begin to imagine new pathways for these — and all — businesses, which will
improve our entire economy.
