About North Bank Innovations North Bank Innovations is an organization based in Southwest Washington, committed to building a thriving ecosystem that helps early-stage startups.

About the Startup Conversations Event Each month we host a local founder who will give a short presentation about their company. They will focus on how it all got started, where they are today, and their plans for the future including the challenges they face to make their goals happen.

Following the presentation our host, Dave Barcos will dig into the founder's background, the company's story, and other observations. After the interview, we will have an audience Q&A session to help attendees ask direct questions of the presenter. It has proven to be a great format to catalyze the local founders and the startups in the region. You won't want to miss it.

Event Schedule: 9:30 AM - Coffee and Networking 10:00 AM - Presentations and Q&A 11:00 AM - Continued Networking 11:30 AM - Event Ends

COME OUT AND GET YOUR MVP ON.

Launching a minimum viable product (MVP) can be confusing and there don’t seem to be any direct answers. Are there strategies? Are there vendors? Are there tools that can help simplify this massively complex process. NBI has pulled together some great local startups who have built their MVP’s and will talk about their process and how they got it done!

Each panelist will give a short presentation about their business and then settle into a panel event where you, the audience can ask direct questions specific to your journey.

Come out and hear: • Josh Engelbrecht of ToolBelt - an innovative software company for the construction Industry • Alex Zehnbacht of Dripio – an IOT smart garden platform designed to deliver the right individual needs to each plant • Jason Bennet of UNNA - a HIPAA compliant Cloud Platform for connected-health products/services
