What is entreverge?

Our mission

Since 2009, PROPEL, a Portland-based network of young business leaders, has produced entreverge, an event that recognizes businesses and supports programs that leverage the leadership of greater Portland’s economic community. entreverge acknowledges local business which exhibit a scalable vision for the future and a long-term commitment to the people, place and prosperity of Maine.

The entreverge awards pay tribute to the skills, passion, and commitment of greater Portland’s entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are the innovators of the greater Portland area’s business community. When the economy struggles, they innovate, work harder, and work together. These individuals and their companies deserve our recognition and support.

Each year five winners are selected and recognized for their innovation and contribution to the Maine business community. The awards include a package of pro bono consulting services as well as meeting opportunities with members of our Advisory Network, a distinguished group of Maine’s leading business figures.
