Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs by their nature are looking for well-developed ideas worthy of their time and investments on many levels. Oklahoma has a history of entrepreneurship and through OCAST, those opportunities are available on the heels of two decades of building the state’s science and technology infrastructure. Oklahoma entrepreneurs range from the likes of pilot Wiley Post who combined his love of aviation to spacesuit development, to any of several energy pioneers who developed Oklahoma’s oil and gas industry.
