Launch Mid-Valley Startup Bootcamp Returns March 27–29, 2026 to Empower Growth-Focused Founders

Feb 24, 2026

The McMinnville Economic Development Partnership (MEDP) is proud to partner again for the Launch Mid-Valley Startup Bootcamp, a three-day immersive experience designed to accelerate business growth, March 27–29, 2026 at Linfield University in McMinnville.

Built for ambitious founders across Oregon’s Mid-Willamette Valley, the Bootcamp serves two distinct audiences:

Over three high-impact days, participants will refine their business models, validate market opportunities, strengthen capital strategies, and develop investor-ready pitch decks or strategic growth frameworks. The program culminates in a live pitch event on Sunday, providing founders with direct feedback from experienced mentors, investors, and industry leaders.

“This Bootcamp is about more than inspiration — it’s about execution,” said event organizers. “Participants leave with clarity, confidence, and concrete next steps to scale smarter.”

The Launch Mid-Valley initiative continues to expand through recent funding from Business Oregon, strengthening the region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and increasing access to capital, mentorship, and innovation programming.

Launch Mid-Valley empowers entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses throughout Oregon’s Mid-Willamette Valley. Through strategic programming and regional partnerships, the organization fosters innovation, investment readiness, and sustainable economic growth.
