What Would Your Startup Do With $250,000 in 2009?
Join Oregon's entrepreneurs Tuesday evening April 7th, at 5:00 PM at
the RCC/SOU Higher Education Center to explore and answer the question
"What Would Your Startup Do With $250,000 in 2009?"
In the last
6 months the economy, access to capital, the cost of talent and the
opportunities for innovation have all changed. We think its time for
the relationship between entrepreneurs and the State of Oregon to
change, too (the state needs jobs & entrepreneurs need capital!).
Hear
stories of successful, local homegrown companies that have either
bootstrapped or raised funds and then grown themselves to success.
Most
importantly, though, the goal of this event is to prove to the State of
Oregon that there are enough jobs, compelling ideas and entrepreneurs
to warrant an immediate investment of $100,000,000 for startups that
want to hire local talent.
We are working to raise a $100M fund
that makes small investments in Oregon-based companies who hire
Oregon-based employees. Now, in 2009. Not next year or some point in
the future. In growing these new startups, we are investing in
innovation, creating jobs and building Oregon's brand with innovators
and entrepreneurs.
Please be prepared to answer the following questions:
- Could your company hire $250,000 worth of Oregon-based talent in 2009 to get it to the next level?
- What could your company achieve during 2009 with a $250,000 investment?
- How many new jobs could we create if 400 new Oregon startups were funded?
- How would you like to see $100,000,000 invested in Oregon startups?
