Join us for Confessions Of An Entrepreneur (and Investor) with TiE Charter Member and Board Member Robin Jones Maloney.

In a past life, Robin was an investor. She has also been an entrepreneur and founder, startup advisor and mentor. Currently she is an executive with a company that went from startup (Geoloqi) to being acquired by ESRI. Along the way, she got a unique view on entrepreneurship from many different positions and vantage points.

At our upcoming event, Robin will share some compelling confessions with us, such as: insights from her early career "on the inside" as a corporate venture capital manager, and some of the less-than-entrepreneur-friendly terminology she and her co-investors used; the elements of a pitch and business plan that she would pay closest attention to as an investor, and why; and her (torturous) experience raising funds for her first company, and the differences between the Silicon Valley and Oregon funding environment.

You don't want to miss this edition of the longest running, most educational pitch clinic in town!

Our speaker is one of the luminaries of the Portland startup scene, TiE Charter Member/Board Member, Angela Jackson.

Angela is co-Managing Director of the Portland Seed Fund, Director of the PSU Business Accelerator, and a long-time advisor to and investor in startups.

Angela will speak about how the Portland Seed Fund works, what they look for in a startup, and how to pitch your idea and your team. And, she will be sharing some super important advice about something that most people forget about, and that is rarely practiced (but we will practice it with you if you get up and pitch this evening)! Want to know what that is? Join us and find out!

Then practice your pitches with us: investor pitches, concept pitches, sales pitches, co-founder pitches, product pitches, elevator pitches, etc.

Bring your concept-, elevator-, co-founder-, sales, or investor pitch and get actionable and valuable feedback. Or come be part of the audience and learn by watching, and providing feedback to others.

But, it pays not to just be a watcher: you will definitely get the most benefit from this event by getting up and practicing your pitch with us! Many went before you, lived to tell the tale (we don’t bite!) and got a lot of actionable feedback!
