We flip around the typical roles, asking some of Portland's leading funders to make the kind of elevator pitch they're typically on the other end of. Each investor will get five minutes and up to five slides to win over attendees. Following the last pitch the investors will have a panel discussion to help founders put their best foot forward.
We are excited to have special guest
Arlan Hamilton participating, founder and managing partner of
Backstage Capital. Her emergence on the venture capital stage has been chronicled in Fortune, Fast Company, Inc and Tech Crunch. Her firm has made over 80 investments in early stage companies in the last two years (including a handful of PDX firms).
Other pitchers include;
Jon Maroney - Oregon Venture Fund
Terry St. Marie - angel investor
Dr. Robin Klemm - Xxcelerate Fund
The panel discussion will be moderate by Luke Kanies, founder of Puppet.
