Why Participate?

Pitch Club is an event where entrepreneurs learn the criteria and methods used by real investors to evaluate their venture as a potential investment. This is done by recreating a typical investor meeting where a few companies pitch and receive feedback from TiE Oregon Charter Members. These meetings follow the same basic agenda of an investor meeting with three sections: the pitch, Q&A, and investor discussion & decision.

Who facilitates Pitch Club? Pitch Club is organized by Kari Naone, TiE Oregon Executive Director and led by Tom Kingsley, a TiE Charter Member who is an investor and successful entrepreneur.

What to expect? Please minimally prepare for a 5-minute pitch. If time permits each person could get up to 10 minutes so be prepared for that as well. This can include a slides/ppt that will be presented from your computer. Directly after pitching, Q&A and discussion will take place.

Those who attend pitch club will walk away with a better understanding of what investors look for in a pitch and how to answer the questions possible investor will ask. In addition, each presenter will receive a digital copy of their pitch and feedback from their peers and TiE Charter Members.

What we're about

For those in the desert on their entrepreneurial journey.

This group is a peer-to-peer boot camp for entrepreneurs who are tired of being stuck at the early stage level. We're here to offer support, encouragement, and advice to our fellow entrepreneurs.

There are a lot of groups out there for folks already established in business but this group is for those who are not yet there.

There is no judgement. Doesn't matter if you're a grandparent wanting to sell your own homemade jewelry or a recent college grad with a woke startup idea to change the world. You're welcome and you're supported.

Listen to the experiences of people just like you that have made the transition, and discuss any questions or concerns that you have. How do you know if you have a good idea? What are the first steps in an entrepreneurial journey? Join us for a fun evening!

Are you currently boot strapping your startup? Do you want to learn how to raise $20M in venture capital? How does a company scale from 30 to 200 employees in less than a year? Is it possible for a company to survive market crashes? Come find out the answers to these questions and more from TiE President, serial investor, founder and CEO of First Insight, Nitin Rai.

Please join us as we hear Ganesh Shankar, Founder of RFPIO share his entrepreneurial story.

No entrepreneur goes through their entrepreneurial journey without making mistakes along the way. Some are small, some are bigger, and all contribute to lessons learned.

While everyone will encounter their own limits, SNAFUs, bad decisions, good advice not taken etc., hearing from others where they went wrong and what they learned is a great opportunity to be forewarned.

Join us for networking, light refreshments (courtesy of hosts Stoel Rives) and a talk by David Nelsen, Founder/CEO of Giftango, as he reflects on what he learned from his mistakes along the way as he founded, and sold, his company Giftango.

Cost: TiE Members: FREE, Public: $25

This workshop held jointly by OEN and OTBC, will bring together all of those resources along with providing a check list of steps to take before building your plan

Picture this: You're an investor with 30 minutes to get through a stack of executive summaries and business plans. Your goal is to find one with a story you can't stop reading. Each document has 5 seconds to make you care; if it doesn't, you reject it – Boom! – and pick up the next.

Back to reality: You're a founder, you need capital, and you have 5 seconds to tell a story that grabs investors by the eyeballs and forces them to read. You may be an engineer, but you need to write like your future depends on it.

Learn how to make your opening paragraph a compelling read in this hot seat workshop. Led by business writer Debra Hemminger, attendees will:

• Evaluate and revise first paragraphs

• Create a checklist of traits that make a compelling first paragraph

• Use the checklist on their own first paragraphs to create an action plan.
