Dear OVF Members and Friends,
There is an energy coursing through Oklahoma City’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. From the rise of cutting-edge startups in life sciences and aerospace to the steady growth of our tech sector, the state of venture capital and entrepreneurship in our city is not just strong—it’s accelerating.
We are witnessing a pivotal moment. More than ever, Oklahoma is recognizing our most valuable natural resource is the innovative spirit of our people.
Capital is flowing, ideas are flourishing, and the collective will to build a diverse, future-proof economy has never been more aligned.
To continue this incredible momentum, connection and insight are key. That’s why I am thrilled to announce our next OVF Power Lunch on Tuesday, September 10th, featuring a visionary Oklahoma leader.
Please join us for an exclusive conversation with Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce, Deborah Moorad. Secretary Moorad will share her vital perspective on “Empowering Progress: How Oklahoma is Fueling Innovation & Economic Growth.” This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the architect of the state’s economic development strategy about the programs, policies, and partnerships designed to propel our ventures forward.
And this event marks a special first for OVF!
We are incredibly excited to announce that we will be hosted in a spectacular new venue: Innovation Hall, located in the heart of the OKC Innovation District. This state-of-the-art facility is the physical embodiment of the progress we will be discussing—a hub designed to foster collaboration and breakthrough ideas.
This is a can’t-miss event for any serious entrepreneur, investor, or supporter of Oklahoma’s economic future. Space is limited so register now to attend.
Let’s come together to learn, connect, and fuel the progress that builds our state.
Sincerely,
Your Chair, Andrew Pollock
