TiE Oregon - Pitch Club–
ZoomWebsiteWhy 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.
Interested in sponsoring Pitch Club - please contact [email protected].

Curious about the future of AI and how it will impact humans? Join us for an engaging panel discussion exploring the concept of "Human-in-the-Loop" in AI.
We’ll explore how humans and AI can work together to achieve incredible things. But this collaboration raises important questions. Should AI always augment humans?

The future of work, trust in technology, and even the very nature of collaboration are all on the table.

Demolicious - May 2024
Website
UPDATE: MAY Demolicious will be at the new westside UpStart Collective location!
::::::: Applications for May are STILL OPEN! Please use the form below to apply to pitch.:::::::::::
Demolicious is back! This monthly pitch event brings together founders and the community to learn about what is being built here and around Portland.
How this all works: If you are a founder, you will apply to pitch here. Don't worry. "Apply" simply means you want to pitch, but there's no real competitive process to be accepted. We just want to see what you're working on before we put you in front of a room full of people.
You will be given 3 minutes to pitch at the event.
The audience will be given a number to text and vote for their favorite one. The one with the most votes will go home with the Demolicious Championship belt.
The belt is not for you to keep as you will have to come back and "defend" it. However, you will be allowed to put your startup sticker (if applicable) on the belt for all to see and to live on forever in infamy!
We will post the projects/companies that will be pitching a week prior to the event. Which means you have until then to fill out the form.
Teams Pitching: TBA
Will you be the next founder to pitch!?!
