  • For us to get to where we are today, we wouldn't have gotten here without the support of Prosper Portland.

    — George Domurot,‍ Ranger Chocolate

  • Working with OMEP, the cost has been really helped by Prosper Portland. Without that, it would have been really a burden for us. That really made a huge difference for the possibilities that we're able to see.

    — Three Sisters Nixtamal

  • We are committed to being in Portland. The community has been a huge help for us, and their support is helping us through this next stage of our business. [Prosper Portland], they've been helpful.

    — Michael Pan, Pan’s Mushroom Jerky

  • On our own, we would not be able to afford [to work with the Oregon Manufacturing Extension Partnership], so Prosper Portland is helping us.

    — Bonnie Morales, Kachka
