Big ideas. Outdoor brands. $10K on the line.

Bend Outdoor Worx (BOW), the nation’s first and most experienced outdoor industry accelerator, is bringing the BOW BreakOut Pitch Event back to Volcanic Theatre Pub on October 14th.

This year’s BreakOut brings five rising outdoor brands to the stage to pitch their businesses, share what they’re building, and compete for $10,000 in no-strings-attached cash award.

After the pitches, you’ll have a chance to hear more from the founders during an audience Q&A—and then cast your vote for the winner.

This is more than a night of startup pitches. It’s a chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build an outdoor brand—and connect with the entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and community helping shape what’s next.

Come early to meet the BOW founders and mentors and learn more about BOW programs. While you’re there, check out the Oregon Outdoor Alliance (OOA) Silent Auction, featuring incredible outdoor gear, with all proceeds benefiting OOA!
