Oregon's 1st startup accelerator and its only scalerator, bolstering 250 startups from inception to acquisition via proven peer mentoring for founders.

Starve Ups was Oregon's first startup accelerator and has been built upon its cornerstone of "proven peer mentoring for founders", which is exactly what Starve Ups stands for, excels at, and focuses on as a group. Starve Ups was launched by founders, and is solely for founders, of innovative and disruptive startups in all industries. The group works tirelessly to statistically change the game for founders and to make startups exponentially more successful in a more efficient and effective ecosystem.

Since its founding on October 15, 2000, Starve Ups has been the accelerator to 250+ startup member companies, in 20 different industries, from all around Oregon and SW Washington. Of those 250+ Starve Ups companies, 81% are still in business, nearly 2/3 have raised angel and/or VC rounds of funding, and 26 membership companies have been positively merged, acquired or have gone public. The success rate of Starve Ups literally flips the national averages where after 8 years 83% to 86% of all startups fail, just over 14% successfully raise Angel and VC funding, and just over 4% positively exit.

It is simple, the end-to-end full lifecycle approach of Starve Ups is to support each of our membership companies to SURVIVE the R&D and launch phase, to STRIVE to profitability and expansion, and to THRIVE to their positive exit or existence. Today, nearly a decade and a half later, Starve Ups companies are 6 times more likely to stay in business, 4 times more likely to garner angel and VC funding, and nearly 4 times more likely to be acquired via a positive exit than other startups nationally...all without taking equity or charging a single fee.
