The Verge is where Oklahoma City's next generation of businesses are born.
We are the community for scaling entrepreneurs to help them accelerate their business to drive economic impact in Oklahoma City.
When OKC founders grow, they hire locally, attract outside capital, and keep talent in Oklahoma.
Make a DonationThe Epicenter of Entrepreneurship in OKC
OKC has entrepreneurial resources. The challenge is making sure founders can find and use them when they need them, especially founders without established professional or investment networks.
Currently 13 businesses reside in the state-certified incubator program and all remaining offices are currently occupied by 6 businesses and partners. Our hub occupies two floors with an open community space, classroom, board room, meeting rooms, wellness rooms, and reservable desk options.
Our mission is to see the people around us succeed.
Summer Startup: where OKC’s next founders take the first step
Every summer, The Verge hosts a 54-hour weekend where developers, designers, and business builders form teams and put an idea to the test. In 2026, 98 people registered and 19 teams pitched, with ideas from disaster-response drones to AI tools for logistics and the justice system. More than half of everyone who signed up made it to the pitch. Your support keeps this on-ramp open to anyone ready to build.
Apricot: from our incubator to its own office
Trent, Zach and Amanda brought Apricot into The Verge’s state-certified incubator in 2024. Here, the healthcare tech team found access to talent and funding. They grew their product and their team, creating more than 35 local tech jobs. Today Apricot has outgrown the incubator and moved into its own office. That’s what your gift builds: OKC founders who start here, hire here, and stay here.
