OEN’s Seed Oregon: The Road to Angel Oregon
Seed Oregon is a unique competition for Oregon and Southwest Washington seed-stage companies who are seeking capital within the range of $100,000 to $2,000,000. One winner from each preliminary round will move on to a championship round, where a finalist will earn a coveted presenting opportunity at OEN’s Angel Oregon 2009, the premier angel investing event in the Northwest. The 2009 conference will be held at the Governor Hotel in Portland on March 12th.
Nine presenting companies in total will be selected to compete in the 2008-2009 Seed Oregon tournament. Each will have 10 minutes to present their concept to the PubTalk audience, followed by a 10 minute Q&A session. Three companies will compete at each of the preliminary rounds, with the audience voting for the winning presentations to move to the championship round.
There will also be a unique opportunity to be coached by Dave Yewman of DASH Consulting. He will provide an individual coaching session to each of the nine selected presenting companies prior to each round of competition. Selected companies can find the coaching dates in the FAQ.
The Angel Oregon 2009 Selection Committee will serve as judges for the championship round. The Seed Oregon selection committee will look at early-stage opportunities with good growth and profit potential and a clear exit strategy. Companies should be seeking capital within the range of $100,000 to $2,000,000.
