Each quarter, BendTech will support a new startup

In the coming months, BendTECH coworking space, located on SW Emkay Drive, will do something that will differentiate it from its competitors: Starting in March, the coworking firm will make one of its private offices available to a founder of an early stage company for free.

"The Startup Founders Office is meant to solidify ongoing efforts to make the coworking space a hub of startup activity," said Tim Riefke, executive director of the nonprofit organization that runs BendTech.

Close to a dozen startup founders already run their companies out of BendTech, which has 20 private offices and 46 desks in an open room, Riefke said.

The coworking space has hosted a startup resource fair and the unConference, an open pitch competition during the week of the Bend Venture Conference.

The office will be available for three-month stints. After that time, Startup Founders Office participants will be eligible for a 25 percent discount on coworking memberships.

Supporting an early stage company has been on BendTech’s wish list for a long time, Riefke said. “It’s been a matter of how to pay for it.”
