Entretherapy is Donation based and you must grab a ticket from our event page.

Crowd-sourced solutions to your most pressing startup problems, in one handy place!

Entretherapy is a startup event for entrepreneurs (tech & non-tech) to gather and share whatever is most pressing. Basically, we’re creating a safe place for entrepreneurs in Portland to get HELP! (This isn’t therapy and we aren’t therapists, so keep your nutty childhood at home.)

Here is how it works…

Each entrepreneur who attends will get an equal amount of time to talk.

The first half of that time will be used to share a hurdle you’re facing in business.

The second half is opened up to the group to offer up solutions. Attendees will receive an event recap so you won’t have to worry about taking notes (unless you want).

Oh… and we’ll eat some delicious cake!

Come prepared with a problem you want to be solved, because it’s going to happen.

If not that night, some time over the next month we’ll offer up a solid cure for what ails ya!

Last year we gathered weekly to share useful business tips that could be implemented immediately. In 2013 our workshops are changing to a new monthly format. This time we’ll gather monthly to share lessons learned working with a Portland-based business and present the results of our work in the form of a case study.

Each month will feature a different local business.

Why should you join us?

If you can identify with any of the following scenarios, you should stop what you’re doing and reserve yourself a seat for an upcoming CAKE:

You have a great idea for a business. You have just started developing a business. You have a hobby you want to make money from. You own an existing business and are feeling overwhelmed. You’re just a really awesome person who enjoys eating cake (the edible kind).

Don’t take our word for it, people really like us…

“Since the first CAKE workshop that I attended, I’ve gone back as often as my schedule allows. The two hosts, as well as all the participants have great input and advice to offer, and they offer somewhat unconventional advice on how to start up a business with a more ‘boot-strap’ approach.“ -Grant Bernard (Blurble)

“CAKE provides, not just vague conceptual pieces of inspirations, but tangible information in order for you to confidently and with ease take the next step to grow your business.” -Akiko Oguchi (5th Season: Clothing Reborn)
