A local non-profit business accelerator is trying to make entrepreneurs aware of their services. Gorge Innoventure is based at the Port of Hood River, and is a part of the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network, and involves a number of different community partners. Avery Pickard is a president of the Gorge Innoventure board, and says their goal is to support the development and success of Gorge-based companies through a network of entrepreneurs. Gorge Innoventure provides collaboration and meeting space, education and networking activities, and access to expertise and capital.
