Zoom

TiE Oregon Women Entrepreneurs, please join us each month for timely discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities. Detailed information will be supplied prior to each meeting.

This month we have invited CTO and Founder of TechSpeak, Nelly Yusupova, to come talk to us about being an non-technical entrepreneur starting a tech startup.

This event is open to all entrepreneurs to attend.

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 real angel investors. These meetings follow the same basic agenda of an investor meeting with three sections: the pitch, Q&A, and investor discussion & decision.

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.

Please note - this is not an actual investor meeting. It is a place to come before you pitch for real investment.

please join us each month for timely discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities. This month Naomi Derner CFA, Managing Director of Vantage Point Advisors will talk to us about company valuation.

Entrepreneurs seeking their first round of funding may be asked about their company’s valuation by potential investors. Most new founders have no experience or training in valuation, and may pick a number without any support or rationale, or accept a valuation suggested by an investor without understanding what it means.

In this workshop, we will help you prepare for these conversations.

-- Demystify the language and math used by investors around valuation. -- Techniques for estimating the value of your company….even if you are pre-revenue. -- Why your valuation matters, and why sometimes it doesn’t.

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.
