Relying on her own research and input from friends a nd fellow parents familiar with natural medicine\, she began creating he r own herbal remedies and mixing them with fruit juices to help treat he r own children. \;\n \;\nYears later\, while brainstorming with h er husband\, musician Michael Allen Harrison\, and his sister\, they cam e up with the idea to put natural medicines into ice pops.

This 4-hour workshop reflects what we have l earned about the risks and rewards of entrepreneurship and offers practi cal guidance on how to start a high impact business. \;\n \;\nAt T he Bridge we focus on scalable and high impact businesses as opposed to “Main Street” small businesses. There is often\, but not always\, a stro ng element of technological innovation in these businesses. This might i nvolve software development\, engineering or even food science. Scalable businesses generally have more significant investment requirements and nationally\, if not globally directed strategies. \;\n \;\nIn this entrepreneurial workshop participants will learn about: \;\nFinanci ng Options – We will outline known and conventional funding sources for Entrepreneurs as well as discuss bootstrapping a startup without any out side funding \;\n \;\nThe Stages of a startup and what to expect a t each stage \;\nIDEA >\; CONCEPT >\; COMMIT >\; VALIDATION &g t\; SCALE >\; ESTABLISHING \;\n \;\nBusiness Model Canvas – This useful framework is a foundational tool for early stage founders to eff ectively map out all the areas required to make a business successful 3\;\n \;\nThis workshop is put on in cooperation with WorkSource and The Bridge.

Then we ask the folks having meetings to do their homework to make the meeting efficient\, to show up early f or their meeting time\, and to stay late so they get to meet more people — and get connected more quickly. It might even be that in the middle o f one of our 10 min meetings\, we could just point at someone in the cro wd and be like “That’s the person you need to talk to\, right there.” 3\;\n \;\nIn my head\, I’ve been calling the “Bottleneck.” Because th at’s what I am. And that’s what I’m trying to solve for. And I thought i t might be a solution that could work for you. And our community.

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?

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. He was fo rmerly CEO of Uncorked Studios\, which co-founded Safecast during the 20 11 Fukushima earthquake and ensuing nuclear disaster.

Rooted in the theory of complex systems\, th is book establishes the systemic properties of entrepreneurial ecosystem s and explains why their complex nature leads people to make predictable mistakes. 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.

In this Virtual Lunch &\; Learn session\, aspiring founders will gain practical\, actionable insight into two core pillars of early‑stag e biotech company formation. First\, we will cover why corporate formati on matters and what founders need to get right early on: choosing the ap propriate corporate structure\, properly issuing founder equity\, creati ng and maintaining a clean cap table\, establishing a functional board o f directors\, and preparing for future financing. These elements are ess ential for attracting investors\, protecting founder ownership\, and avo iding preventable legal and operational pitfalls. \;\n \;\nSecond\ , attendees will learn what to expect when in‑licensing foundational int ellectual property from a university\, academic medical center\, or rese arch 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 opportuni ties and obligations that come with licensing core IP. Whether you are p reparing to launch your first venture or exploring commercial pathways f or your science\, this session will provide clarity\, context\, and conf idence as you take the next steps on your entrepreneurial journey.\n\nTa gs: biotech\, entrepreneur\, funding\, networking\, science\, startup\n\ nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482519 URL:https://www.tickettailor.com/events/oregonbioscienceincubator/2124627 SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Formation and Licensing: What Founders Nee d to Know SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260511T211345Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260609T130000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260609T120000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260511T211345Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260511T211345Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250482574 DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered if your product truly has the upside y ou believe—or have sold to your investors?
