One in eight (12.5%) female owned businesses have successfully scaled. This is 2 times lower than male owned businesses. W e have uncovered three key barriers to women achieving their entrepreneu rial aspirations – Identifying Resources\, Lack of Mentorship\, and Less Funding / Sexist Culture. The women’s unconference will provide resourc es and networking to help overcome these barriers. The Facilitator Megan O'Leary the Director of Member Services from OEN is going to facilitate the whole unconference event.

What hasn't changed is that every business\, from startup to corporation \, needs to have images of their people\, products\, venues\, and other resources. These photos end up on websites\, social media\, in print\, at those things called conferences that we used to do\, and elsewhere. Folks are going to notice the difference between an organization that ha s solid consistent imagery versus an outfit where you can tell that thei r visual brand was an afterthought. \;\n \;\nWhat does photography and visual branding look like for a startup or other organization in 20 20 and beyond? When should you hire a pro and when should you do it you rself? If you can afford the same gear as a pro\, what else are they br inging to the table that you don't have? Should you invest in photograp hy proactively\, or react as you have a need for pictures? Let's talk about visual media and photography. \;\n \;\nJoin us for a mentor Q&\;A with Aaron Hockley of Hockley Photography and TechPhotoGuy.com. Aaron is a professional photographer with a background in the tech wor ld\; he's photographed quite a few Portland tech startups and organizati ons over the past 12 years. The Professional Photographers of America h as recognized him as a Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman\ , which means that he knows a thing or two (maybe even three!) about mak ing and using effective images. \;\n \;\nRSVP: https://www.crowdca st.io/e/piepdx-aaron-hockley-visuals-photography-20200415\n\nTags: free\ , startup\, startups\, entrepreneur\, entrepreneurs\, founder\, founders \, pie\, piepdx\, livestream\, photography\, photo\, crowdcast\, aaron h ockley\, visuals\, techphotoguy\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/e vents/1250476974 URL:https://www.crowdcast.io/e/piepdx-aaron-hockley-visuals-photography-2 0200415 SUMMARY:Photography\, Visual Media\, and Your Brand with Aaron Hockley of Tech Photo Guy LOCATION:Online: placeholder for on-line events\, SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200409T200526Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200416T173000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200416T163000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200409T200526Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200409T200526Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250476973 DESCRIPTION:We all rely on the bonds of our community in order for our bu sinesses to thrive. We seek intros to VCs\, backchannels to clients\, ad vice from our peers and mentors. In normal times\, these bonds heavily r ely on in-person interactions — coffees\, lunches\, beers\, and 1:1's. & #13\;\n \;\nReading body language is a critical component to reinforc ement of those bonds. In our most vulnerable moments\, we want to ensure that the other party is present\, listening\, and empathizing. And beyo nd the 1:1 interactions\, in social places like our coffee shops and cow orking spaces\, we create room for serendipity — that chance encounter t hat leads to something new and unexpected\, whether it's a new business idea or a solution to an existing problem facing a member of our communi ty. \;\n \;\nDuring this pandemic\, we've been stripped of the abi lity to interact as normal. Sure\, we have all these video chat tools — but it's not a replacement of our in-person interactions\, just a digita l proxy. And while those proxies may suffice for our 1:1 meetings\, they certainly aren't helping with serendipity. \;\n \;\nSo how do we form community in a time of crisis? How do we create space for chance? A nd how can we come together to listen\, to engage\, to be present\, when many of us are already at our wits end staring at a video on a computer screen all day long? \;\n \;\nJoin us for a mentor Q&\;A with Marcelino Alvarez\, Chief Product Officer at Fresh Consulting. He was fo rmerly CEO of Uncorked Studios\, which co-founded Safecast during the 20 11 Fukushima earthquake and ensuing nuclear disaster.

The national average for how far food travels t o get from the farm to your house is 1\,500 miles. That’s wild!

As complex systems\, value creation occurs in startup communi ties primarily through the interaction of the parts—the people\, organiz ations\, resources\, and conditions involved—not the parts themselves. T his continual process of bottom-up interactions unfolds naturally\, prod ucing value in novel and unexpected ways. Through these complex\, emerge nt processes\, the whole becomes greater and substantially different tha n what the parts alone could produce. \;\n \;\n"\;Although we are living in a booming age for startups\, we need to think about the fu ture. When the boom times slow\, what will happen to our startup communi ties\, and how will we ensure that entrepreneurial success is still with in reach for everyone? This book provides a framework for answering thes e questions\, looking at startup communities as complex systems that—giv en the right resources and support—can help entrepreneurs succeed and be nefit society as a whole. \;\n \;\n"\;If you have been involve d in any way in building a startup community or entrepreneurial ecosyste m in your city\, The Startup Community Way is key to helping you underst and the next phase of your journey."\; \;\n \;\nThe book relea ses on July 28\, 2020.

As we all know\, the only thing we k now for sure in these early hires is that their role will change over th e coming months - so we need to be sure we're not over indexing towards hard skills that won't be as important later. \;\n \;\nThis works hop will be interactive as participants feel comfortable\, and the goal is to learn from the facilitating team (at Hustle Hunters)\, each other\ , and especially ourselves during this session. \;\n \;\nIn terms of what to expect - There will be a mix of knowledge sharing and best pr actices from the facilitating team\, small group discussions\, and self- reflection work. \;\n \;\nWho should attend?: \;\n \;\nAny one who is hiring and building out a critical team within a startup (or scale-up) where the stakes are high\, and so often the only thing we &qu ot\;know"\; is that everything in their role will change over the co ming months. So we need to make sure we're defining and hiring folks wit h a builders and owners mentality\, that are values-aligned with our org anizations. Even if you've hired before - we'll dig into your unique org anization's values and needs to help create a repeatable framework and s hared language for making consistently aligned hires that will become th e foundation of your organization. \;\n \;\nWho is leading this w orkshop? \;\n \;\nNikki Adamson (Founder\, CEO of Hustle Hunters) will be facilitating this discussion\, and bringing in her experience s upporting dozens of founders as they go about their critical early stage hires.

You ’ll also see examples of VertueLab Entrepreneurs who are making it in Cl imateTech. VertueLab is a ClimateTech non-profit that is focused on help ing Pacific Northwest ClimateTech entrepreneurs achieve their goals. \;\n \;\nIdeas come from anywhere\, and individuals with those ideas often don’t have the entrepreneurial awareness\, tools\, or guidance to get started in their exploration. Also\, entrepreneurship is new in many communities and they need a jumpstart to gain the right knowledge and c onnections to move forward. \;\n \;\nThe best way to discover\, le arn\, and explore entrepreneurship is through a hands-on approach and me eting others that are building technology and can explain by showing. Ju mpStart Weekends are designed to be a comfortable space to gather curiou s individuals and introduce them to tools and methods they can use to ex plore their ideas and get instant feedback and mentorship\, all packaged over a weekend. \;\n \;\nAlthough it's in our mission to address the impacts of climate change\, entrepreneurship is for everyone. We wan t to increase access to entrepreneurship\, and provide the tools and kno wledge to everyone so that we are all part of the solution. So no prior knowledge of ClimateTech is required\, all you need is an idea and the c uriosity to know more and explore in a weekend of fun\, we encourage you to apply! \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: free\, startup\, startups\, entrepre neur\, entrepreneurs\, founder\, founders\, cofounder\, cofounders\, por tland\, pdx\, cleantech\, clean tech\n\nImported from: http://calagator. org/events/1250480951 URL:https://www.vertuelab.org/45-camp SUMMARY:45 Camp Jumpstart Weekend LOCATION:Briq Studio: 209 Northwest 4th Avenue\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240228T093323Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240313T113000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240313T093000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240228T093323Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240228T093323Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250480984 DESCRIPTION:North Bank Innovations is a local non-profit based in Southwe st Washington\, committed to building a local ecosystem that helps early -stage startups. \;\n \;\nEach month we host a local founder to gi ve a short presentation about their company.
