Welcome 2021. Welcome, welcome!
I also want to welcome our latest members: Sarah Edwards, Nathaniel Harding, Melissa Houston, Tina Lindsay, Zach Miles, J.W. Peters, Heather Rouba, and Dan Schemm. Lots of new faces for the new year.
Most new members join OVF because they have been a guest at some point, so keep inviting people who are interested in quality content, viable venture investment opportunity or industry specific networking. The OVF entrepreneurial & innovation ecosystem requires as many motivated participants as possible to continue to connect, recognize and promote economic growth for Oklahoma, thanks for doing your part.
OVF is completely booked this session for main speakers and we only have a few spots left for pitch presentations. Please continue to send your main speaker suggestions and we will begin booking for the 2021-2022 session. Let us know who you want to see and we will do our best to book them.
Now to tell you about our main event, the annual OVF Awards ceremony. This year will be a little different. We have typically alternated award categories each year. The 2021 OVF Awards will combine Venture of the Year, Most Promising New Venture and the Award for Economic Impact, so it will be an epic awards event for Oklahoma.
Don’t miss this impressive event and don't miss the opportunity to support these recognitions by sponsoring a table, one of the three recognition pieces, or go one step further and partner with OVF to become a title sponsor.
As a reminder the award nominations/applications are due January 20th. Contact Che’ or any of the board members if you need any additional information.
I look forward to seeing you at the upcoming Power Lunch on January 13th or the After Hours Pitch Event on January 21st.
Happy New Year.
