LevelUp Tillamook is a community initiative committed to developing a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem in Tillamook County to strengthen existing small businesses and innovators and support the emergence of new ones
The Tillamook EDC, SBDC and numerous community partners embarked on a project to build support for our Tillamook entrepreneurs. We applied for and received a gift from the Ford Family Foundation’s Growing Rural Oregon initiative.
As a result “Level Up Tillamook” was born. As part of this project, we have events planned to encourage networking between our
current business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. Our goal is to bring entrepreneurs and business owners together to network, share and learn from each other. 
We support our local Tillamook County entrepreneurial eco-system.
