AGENDA:

5:30 - 6:15: Business Networking Time with finger food, no host bar 6:15 - 6:25: 30-Second Mic (give us your technology business elevator pitch!!) 6:45 Program: Co-Working in Oregon

PROGRAM:

Co-working is a growing movement around the United States and across the world. As more people work from home or work while they are traveling or are in the midst of a rapid startup cycle, they find that they can be more effective and more productive by gathering together to work. Starting with projects like the Hat Factory in San Francisco, co-working sites have bloomed. There are several co-working facilities in the Nortwest, some which are expanding to multiple cities and some that focus on specific audiences or markets. The February SAO meeting will be a panel discussion by three Oregon co-working entrepreneurs: Jeff Jimmerson from Madison Avenue Collective in Corvallis, Josh Friedman from Ned Space in Portland and Rick Turoczy from Portland Innovation Experiment.

Jeff Jimerson, founder of the Madison Ave. Collective (http://www.madcollective.com/)

Madison Ave. Collective (the MAC) is a shared office and studio space located in downtown Corvallis, 72 steps west of Starbucks on the corner of 5th street and—you guessed it—Madison Ave. After three months of heavy remodeling, Jeff opened the space on 08/08/08 with a "nice people wanted" Craigslist ad.

Today, twelve creative and tech professionals call the MAC home for their respective small businesses.

Rick Turoczy, founder of Silicon Florist (http://siliconflorist.com/)

Rick Turoczy has been working in high-tech marketing communications jobs in the Portland area for the past 15 years. Out of pure dumb luck, he happened to sit up in bed at 2 AM one night in August 2007 with the inspiration to start Silicon Florist, a blog about Portland startups in the Web, Mobile, and Open Source scenes.

Since then, he’s chatted with The Oregonian a bunch of times, appeared on local television and radio, made a brief appearance on the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, garnered bylines in The New York Times, spoken at numerous events, been selected as a runner up for the Portland Business Journal’s “40 under 40,” launched a startup incubator with the help of Wieden+Kennedy, and co-produced a groundbreaking Web-based telethon called 30 hour day.

All because of a blog. Weird.

Josh Friedman, co-founder of NedSpace (http://www.nedspace.com/)

Josh Friedman is the co-founder of NedSpace, a provider of co-working facilities for entrepreneurs and startups. NedSpace is designed to be the place where entrepreneurs go to build and grow their businesses. Along with his business partner Mark Grimes, NedSpace has itself grown quickly into two locations from its launch in early 2009. The goal is to open 10 more locations throughout the US in 2010, and eventually to have a NedSpace in every city with a startup ecosystem.

Josh serves on the Board of Starve Ups, a Portland-based entrepreneurial organization and the Oregon Entrepreneurs Forum Advisory Board. He holds a B.S. degree in speech communication from Oregon State University. Aside from helping entrepreneurs grow their companies, you might find him rock climbing, skiing, cycling, brewing beer or generally causing trouble along with his dog Ace.

We try to support each location that supports us by buying something. So come hungry, in need of a coffee, and ready to get some work done with awesome people. 

Again this week we will be going to a bar after Workfrom Wednesday. If anyone has any suggestions please post them since we are currenelty undecided on where to go.

You can find out more about Lovejoy Bakers and why it's awesome on their Workfrom page.

Portland has long been known as a bastion for creative people and innovative projects. But how might that creative energy be channeled toward social change work and nurturing justice? SJF leaders will jump-start this conversation and you take it from there!

The quest of every organization is the same: to rapidly acquire customers, grow their lifetime value, and convert them into loyal advocates who in turn, influence new customers.

• With measurable impact

We are excited to welcome two Marketing Automation thought leaders from this Meetup's Sponsor, Marketo:

• Allison Dyer (@DyerAllison), Sr. Solutions Consultant, Marketo

• Joseph Benoit (@JNBenoit), Associate Solutions Consultant, Marketo

Did I mention we will also have pizza and beer?

The holiday party will be December 11th, 5pm, at Collective Agency. This is traditionally the biggest member event of the year! It's for members, family and friends.

This will be a potluck style party. Please bring something (food and/or drink) you'd like to share with the community.

There will also be a White Elephant Gift Exchange lead by Dan. Bring an “embarrassing” gift to participate. Ideally something you already own, that you don't want to see yourself going home with, but that you want to see someone else going home with. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant_gift_exchange

Sick of working out of coffee shops but can't afford your own workspace?

We love coffee shops, but let's face it: launching a startup while competing for electrical outlets and trying to block out the din of coffee grinders is not always ideal. Access to a quiet conference room and your very own electrical outlet are just two benefits of a coworking space. Learn about the other benefits, including what's available here in Portland, at our upcoming PubTalk!

Join us for FREE pizza, drinks and a fantastic networking experience + panel.

Date: 10/14 Time: 5:15-7:00pm Cost: Members: $10

      Non-Members: $20 

(walk-ins welcome!)

Come spend the day working in Portland's #1 Founder space, the UpStart Collective. Come hang out, get some work done, and hear more about what the founders of the space are working on. This event is free and open to those founders working on anything that is not a client-based business (accountant, consultant, designer, development and/or marketing agency, etc). Why no service providers? Because the space is designed for founders working on other types of businesses and not having service providers in the space allows them to be open to being vulnerable as well as sharing their challenges without the fear of being "sold to."

Anyone coming to the space must RSVP through this link: https://forms.gle/TE8rLBoDndcWsbia9

If you do not sign up via this link, you will not be given access to the space.

Join us at UpStart Collective for a fun and productive day of co-working! Whether you're tired of working in the same space as service providers or just need a change of scenery, this event is perfect for you. Come work alongside like-minded individuals in our vibrant and collaborative space. Enjoy the opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and find inspiration. Our open community co-working day is a great chance to escape the distractions of home and get things done. Don't miss out on this chance to be a part of our awesome community!

Registration is required to work in the space for the day. Limited space is available.

UpStart Collective is opening its doors to the local founder community. Working on something cool? Working by yourself somewhere? Feeling like you're doing this all alone? Come hang out with a community of founders working on cool s**t!

We have two locations to choose from. You can come to work out of our original location on the eastside (107 SE Washington St) or our new westside location (2828 S. Corbett).

First Fridays are open to the general startup community and a way to connect with fellow founders, ecosystem partners, and general support orgs. Originally started at UpStart Collective as a way to blow off steam and celebrate the completion of another month in business, First Fridays are now open to all and a very low friction way to meet the community at large.

We typically showcase a founder from our community so keep an eye out for an update soon.

Hope to see you there!!
