This is a great opportunity to meet with and learn from one of P ortland's shining stars. Seating is limited so register now and reserve your spot! \;\n \;\nABOUT ONEAPP OREGON \;\nOneApp Oregon was s tarted out of necessity. Tyrone Poole\, Founder and CEO\, was training t o become a firefighter when he suffered a gruesome injury that hospitali zed him. With no insurance or income\, Tyrone's bills piled up and by th e time he was released from the hospital he was broke and homeless. Tyro ne took shelter in the YWCA\, where he made it his mission to help peopl e find housing. In his time helping people\, one thing became very clear : application fees and the uncertainty of applying to properties were cr ippling. Application fees can cost upwards of $50\, and there's no way f or an applicant to know whether they meet the property's criteria. From this realization\, an idea was born: one application\, one application f ee\, transparency to all properties. OneApp Oregon was born. \;\n \;\n*this event is free and open to the public \;\nGet your (free ) t ickets here: https://www.ulpdxyp.org/young-professionals-events \;\n& #13\;\n \;\nAbout The Portland Urban League Young Professionals \; \nThe Portland Urban League Young Professionals (ULPDXYP) is a volunteer auxiliary of the Urban League of Portland that encourages Oregon young professionals to empower their communities and change lives through the Urban League Movement.

What hasn't changed is that every business\, from startup to corporation \, needs to have images of their people\, products\, venues\, and other resources. These photos end up on websites\, social media\, in print\, at those things called conferences that we used to do\, and elsewhere. Folks are going to notice the difference between an organization that ha s solid consistent imagery versus an outfit where you can tell that thei r visual brand was an afterthought. \;\n \;\nWhat does photography and visual branding look like for a startup or other organization in 20 20 and beyond? When should you hire a pro and when should you do it you rself? If you can afford the same gear as a pro\, what else are they br inging to the table that you don't have? Should you invest in photograp hy proactively\, or react as you have a need for pictures? Let's talk about visual media and photography. \;\n \;\nJoin us for a mentor Q&\;A with Aaron Hockley of Hockley Photography and TechPhotoGuy.com. Aaron is a professional photographer with a background in the tech wor ld\; he's photographed quite a few Portland tech startups and organizati ons over the past 12 years.

We seek intros to VCs\, backchannels to clients\, ad vice from our peers and mentors. In normal times\, these bonds heavily r ely on in-person interactions — coffees\, lunches\, beers\, and 1:1's. & #13\;\n \;\nReading body language is a critical component to reinforc ement of those bonds. In our most vulnerable moments\, we want to ensure that the other party is present\, listening\, and empathizing. And beyo nd the 1:1 interactions\, in social places like our coffee shops and cow orking spaces\, we create room for serendipity — that chance encounter t hat leads to something new and unexpected\, whether it's a new business idea or a solution to an existing problem facing a member of our communi ty. \;\n \;\nDuring this pandemic\, we've been stripped of the abi lity to interact as normal. Sure\, we have all these video chat tools — but it's not a replacement of our in-person interactions\, just a digita l proxy. And while those proxies may suffice for our 1:1 meetings\, they certainly aren't helping with serendipity. \;\n \;\nSo how do we form community in a time of crisis? How do we create space for chance? A nd how can we come together to listen\, to engage\, to be present\, when many of us are already at our wits end staring at a video on a computer screen all day long? \;\n \;\nJoin us for a mentor Q&\;A with Marcelino Alvarez\, Chief Product Officer at Fresh Consulting.

The national average for how far food travels t o get from the farm to your house is 1\,500 miles. That’s wild! We’ve cu t down our average to 35 miles and have designed a system that leapfrogs the industrialized food system. Less travel = less pollution. More acce ss to food = fresher\, healthier foods! \;\n \;\nIt’s not just abo ut ditching the grocery store lines\, it’s about keeping money in the co mmunity and supporting local producers. For farmers\, we’re able to prov ide 6-7x what they’d make from a normal grocery store. It should be as e asy (if not easier) to buy from local farmers as it is to order a cab or book a stay in someone’s house\, right? \;\n \;\n90% of the small farms in America right now are at risk of extinction.

As complex systems\, value creation occurs in startup communi ties primarily through the interaction of the parts—the people\, organiz ations\, resources\, and conditions involved—not the parts themselves. T his continual process of bottom-up interactions unfolds naturally\, prod ucing value in novel and unexpected ways. Through these complex\, emerge nt processes\, the whole becomes greater and substantially different tha n what the parts alone could produce. \;\n \;\n"\;Although we are living in a booming age for startups\, we need to think about the fu ture. When the boom times slow\, what will happen to our startup communi ties\, and how will we ensure that entrepreneurial success is still with in reach for everyone? This book provides a framework for answering thes e questions\, looking at startup communities as complex systems that—giv en the right resources and support—can help entrepreneurs succeed and be nefit society as a whole. \;\n \;\n"\;If you have been involve d in any way in building a startup community or entrepreneurial ecosyste m in your city\, The Startup Community Way is key to helping you underst and the next phase of your journey."\; \;\n \;\nThe book relea ses on July 28\, 2020.

You ’ll also see examples of VertueLab Entrepreneurs who are making it in Cl imateTech. VertueLab is a ClimateTech non-profit that is focused on help ing Pacific Northwest ClimateTech entrepreneurs achieve their goals. \;\n \;\nIdeas come from anywhere\, and individuals with those ideas often don’t have the entrepreneurial awareness\, tools\, or guidance to get started in their exploration. Also\, entrepreneurship is new in many communities and they need a jumpstart to gain the right knowledge and c onnections to move forward. \;\n \;\nThe best way to discover\, le arn\, and explore entrepreneurship is through a hands-on approach and me eting others that are building technology and can explain by showing. Ju mpStart Weekends are designed to be a comfortable space to gather curiou s individuals and introduce them to tools and methods they can use to ex plore their ideas and get instant feedback and mentorship\, all packaged over a weekend. \;\n \;\nAlthough it's in our mission to address the impacts of climate change\, entrepreneurship is for everyone. We wan t to increase access to entrepreneurship\, and provide the tools and kno wledge to everyone so that we are all part of the solution. So no prior knowledge of ClimateTech is required\, all you need is an idea and the c uriosity to know more and explore in a weekend of fun\, we encourage you to apply! \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: free\, startup\, startups\, entrepre neur\, entrepreneurs\, founder\, founders\, cofounder\, cofounders\, por tland\, pdx\, cleantech\, clean tech\n\nImported from: http://calagator. org/events/1250480951 URL:https://www.vertuelab.org/45-camp SUMMARY:45 Camp Jumpstart Weekend LOCATION:Briq Studio: 209 Northwest 4th Avenue\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240307T224240Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240314T203000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240314T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240307T224240Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240307T224240Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250480992 DESCRIPTION:It's another opportunity to meet the folks from the [Portland Startups Slack](https://pdxslack.com) in real life!\n\nTags: free\, sta rtup\, startups\, entrepreneur\, entrepreneurs\, founder\, founders\, co founder\, cofounders\, portland\, pdx\, beer\n\nImported from: http://ca lagator.org/events/1250480992 URL:https://www.meetup.com/social_beer/events/299661799/ SUMMARY:#social_beer (Portland Startups Slack IRL) LOCATION:Beulahland: 118 NE 28th Ave\, Portland Or 97232 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240220T215446Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240326T110000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240326T090000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240220T215446Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240220T215446Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250480978 DESCRIPTION:This month we are back at Taborspace.
