This monthly pitch event brings together founders and the community to learn about what is being built here and around Portland. How this all works: If you are a founder, you will apply to pitch here. Don't worry. "Apply" simply means you want to pitch, but there's no real competitive process to be accepted. We just want to see what you're working on before we put you in front of a room full of people. You will be given 3 minutes to pitch at the event. The audience will be given a number to text and vote for their favorite one. The one with the most votes will go home with the Demolicious Championship belt. The belt is not for you to keep as you will have to come back and "defend" it. However, you will be allowed to put your startup sticker (if applicable) on the belt for all to see and to live on forever in infamy! We will post the projects/companies that will be pitching a week prior to the event. Which means you have until then to fill out the form.

2024 Demolicious Champion of Champions – McMenamins Mission Theater & Pub Demolicious, a monthly pitch event for early-stage startups, is thrilled to announce the first end-of-the-year Champion of Champions pitch event. Held where it all started at the famed McMenamins Mission Theater, 11 past monthly Demolicious winners will compete to become 2024 Demolicious Champion and take home the coveted championship belt! This event is free and open to the public, but sign up asap because we expect it to be a complete sell out. A waitlist will be created once RSVPs become full. How Demolicious works: Team will have 5 minutes to pitch. The audience will vote. Results of the vote will be awarded the championship belt. Pretty simple right!?! Can't wait to see you there. |

PDXCPP - Monthly Meetup – Lucky Lab Brew Pub We're very excited to welcome you to the Portland C++ User's Group (PDXCPP) meetup!

This month, we will be meeting at the Lucky Labrador Brewpub on SE Hawthorne. NOTE: We're not really meant to be a "bar group", as kind as the folks at Lucky Lab have been.

Monthly Happy Hour (PDX Web and Design) – Rontoms If you're like me, you spend WAYYYY too much time in front of a computer. I think it would be great to have a monthly get together at a bar or pub to just get to know each other, have a brew, and yes, talk about the business. Real human interaction, in other words. Repeats the last Tuesday of every month. Starting September 24th we will be changing venues to Romtoms, on the east side of the bridge at Burnside and 6th St. We hope there will be more room and it will be easier to find the rest of us. We look forward to seeing everyone. If you can't find us inside look for us out in the back we may be enjoying the sunshine and the beautiful open patio. |
