Focus Areas

Four pillars. One coalition.

Everything we do ladders up to four things: growing AI talent in Oregon, supporting the people building with it, shaping smart policy, and stitching the community together.

Talent

Build a pipeline of AI builders in Oregon — from K-12 and community college through universities and mid-career retraining. Keep our graduates here.

Founders & Industry

Help Oregon AI startups go from idea to scale. Connect founders to operators, customers, capital, and compute — and help incumbents adopt AI responsibly.

Policy

Be a credible, builder-led voice for Oregon in state and federal AI policy. Favor rules that protect people without strangling innovation.

Community

Convene the people doing the work — meetups, demo nights, working groups, and an open table for anyone who wants to contribute.

Have a project that fits?

We're standing up working groups for each pillar. If you want to help lead one — or plug an existing effort into the coalition — we'd love to hear from you.
