OEN’s Seed Oregon: The Road to Angel Oregon

 

OEN's Seed Oregon is a unique competition held during four consecutive PubTalk events. The competition is 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, the premier angel investing event in the Northwest. 

Nine presenting companies in total will be selected to compete in the 2009-2010 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.

Companies selected to compete in the tournament will be coached by presentation and speaking expert Dave Yewman of DASH Consulting. He along with members of the OEN PubTalk coaching committee will give individual advice to enable each competitor to shine. Individual coaching sessions will be provided prior to each round of competition.

 

The Angel Oregon Selection Committee will serve as judges for the championship round to determine who earns the opportunity to present at OEN’s Angel Oregon 2010. 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.
