    Portland Monthly BEAM Meet & Chat
    –

    Let’s get together for an informal BEAM PDX hangout: coffee, conversation, and light co-working.

    This is a low-key monthly meetup for folks working with Elixir, Erlang, Gleam, and other BEAM languages, aimed at reconnecting the local community and rebuilding momentum after a long quiet stretch. We'll holding this on the second Thursday of each month.

    There will be opportunities to:

    Ask questions about Elixir and other BEAM languages Share what you’ve been working on (or stuck on) Get help with programming or design problems Co-work: get things done with like-minded folks nearby Brainstorm ideas for future talk-based meetups and identify potential speakers Bring your laptop if you’d like. It's totally optional.

    New to BEAM languages, or just curious? You’re very welcome.

    Please RSVP so we know roughly how many people to expect. If your plans change, un-RSVP when you can.

    This meetup is also part of our transition away from Meetup to a new home for the group, where we’ll be organizing future events.

    Virtual Lunch & Learn: Formation and Licensing: What Founders Need to Know
    –

    Launching a life sciences company requires more than a breakthrough idea—it demands building the right corporate foundation from day one. In this Virtual Lunch & Learn session, aspiring founders will gain practical, actionable insight into two core pillars of early‑stage biotech company formation. First, we will cover why corporate formation matters and what founders need to get right early on: choosing the appropriate corporate structure, properly issuing founder equity, creating and maintaining a clean cap table, establishing a functional board of directors, and preparing for future financing. These elements are essential for attracting investors, protecting founder ownership, and avoiding preventable legal and operational pitfalls.

    Second, attendees will learn what to expect when in‑licensing foundational intellectual property from a university, academic medical center, or research institution—the critical step that often enables company formation in life sciences. We will demystify the tech transfer process, discuss typical economic and diligence terms, and highlight common negotiation and operational considerations so founders understand both the opportunities and obligations that come with licensing core IP. Whether you are preparing to launch your first venture or exploring commercial pathways for your science, this session will provide clarity, context, and confidence as you take the next steps on your entrepreneurial journey.
