What is the exact problem that you're addressing? Is the time right for your idea? Is the state of technology ready for your envisioned solution? Who are your intended customers and what do they look like? How many of them are there in your intended market area? How many are currently in the market for what you have to sell? And between you and your competition, how many will want to buy your solution instead of someone else's?</p> <p>All of this is not an exact science - but the more realistic your estimates, the better your chances of gauging your chance of success, and the more credible you will be to a potential investor.</p> <p>Come hear from Dave Shanley, new TiE Oregon Charter Member and CEO/Founder of Notion,who will speak about Market/ Opportunity Assessment.</p> <p>After the talk, as always, we will be practicing pitches! Bring your presentations, with or without slide decks! Get up and pitch us on your concept, business, or idea, to sell, find co-founders, get funding or otherwise!</p> <p>Cost: TiE Members: FREE (and you may pre-register a non-member guest for $10); Public: $25</p> <p>For more information and to register please visit:</p> <p><a href="http://oregon.tie.org/event/tie-oregon-pitch-club-june-2015/?instance_id=403">http://oregon.tie.org/event/tie-oregon-pitch-club-june-2015/?instance_id=403</a></p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://oregon.tie.org/event/tie-oregon-pitch-club-june-2015/?instance_id=403">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
