Cloud 9 Restaurant and Bar

Three businesses will be selected to deliver 10 minute pitches. And three additional businesses will be selected to deliver Angel Ignite Pitches (13 slides, 15 seconds per slide = 3.5 minutes). It's a high energy competition - and lots of fun! The audience will vote and select one winner from the 10 Minute Pitch and one from the Angel Ignite Pitch. Come on out and support Eugene-area and Corvallis-area entrepreneurs. Attendee registration will soon be available.

Companies seeking seed stage funding between $250,000 and $2 million can submit their business plans into this competition. See submission guidelines on smartups.org. Deadline to submit is 5pm, Feb 6th. Please send executive summaries to [email protected].

We will also be chartering a bus to drive us to the event in Corvallis. We can accommodate up to 36 people. Those interested will be charged an additional $8 during registration. The bus will depart the parking lot of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce at 4pm sharply.
