# Oklahoma Commercialization Network

Organization · [Tulsa and Oklahoma ecosystem](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/tulsa)

Also called: OCN, Commercialization Network, OCAST Commercialization Network

A statewide partnership that acts as a front door for Oklahoma [entrepreneurs](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/founder), pointing them to the organizations that can help. [OCAST](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/ocast) created it, and [i2E](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/i2e) [leads](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/lead-generation) it with [Gradient](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/gradient), [The Verge](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/the-verge-okc) in Oklahoma City and [REI Oklahoma](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/rei-oklahoma).

**For example:** A [founder](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/founder) in a small Oklahoma town reaches the network and is pointed to the nearest [advisor](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/mentor) and the right [grant](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/grant) program.
