What This Is

The Network is a statewide partnership that centralizes the strengths of Oklahoma's leading entrepreneurial support organizations, led by i2E in partnership with REI Oklahoma, The Verge, 36º North in collaboration with 25 other organizations. This suite of resources provides a collaborative experience for entrepreneurs, offering everything from workspace and mentoring to pitch preparation and connections to potential funders and investors.

Who this is for

The Network is designed for all Oklahoma-based startups, with a particular emphasis on tech-driven and scalable ventures. Whether you are a rural entrepreneur or an innovator in the heart of Tulsa or OKC, The Network is your gateway to the tools and support needed to scale.

The Benefit

Entrepreneurs often face the frustration of not knowing where to go and not understanding the full scope of resources that are available to them. The Network, supported by OCAST, eliminates this problem by providing a single, cohesive hub where founders can find the right resources at the right time. This unified approach ensures that every entrepreneur has a clear pathway from concept to commercialization, without the hassle of navigating multiple systems.
