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?

Each attendee who intends to pitch should prepare a five minute pitch presentation. (This can include a power point projection that will be presented from your computer.) Directly after pitching a five-minute Q&A will take place, followed by a five-minute Investor Discussion & Decision).

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.

This month we will continue to focus on the local angel investment scene, what is needed, and discuss challenges. It will be an open discussion for Oregon area investors who are looking to connect with other investors.

PLEASE NO FOUNDERS! This is not the place to bring your ideas and pitch to angel investors. If it is discovered that you are not an investor you will be asked to leave the zoom call.

Zoom link will be shared the day before the meetup.

In this session, we'll practice some examples from codingbat.com. We'll work on a few problems such as strings, lists, booleans, and loops. Hopefully, these examples will inspire you to continue your journey to learn Python.

This session will be on Zoom for an hour. We'll spend most of our time covering examples. Whatever time is left, we'll spend with general Q&A.

Join us for an interactive tour of IPA and you'll be more confident the next time you open your mouth to speak a new language.

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is how linguists classify and organize all the sounds of the world's languages. It has all the consonants, vowels, clicks, and everything in-between that we need to speak, like a periodic table of talking. For language learners, familiarity with IPA is a powerful tool to understand how to make new sounds in their target language.

Would you like to share your art with other talented artists? Join us on Zoom for an hour to collaborate on our favorite art projects. I'll start us off by sharing my favorite paintings in my sketchbook. I can give a brief history of how I learned the fundamentals including shadows, perspective, composition, construction, proportions, gestures, color theory, and anatomy.

Whatever time we have left, others are welcome to share their art projects. We'll even do a Zoom poll to vote on upcoming topic ideas.
