OEN entrepreneurs tell good stories. They have to if they want their business to succeed. They also need access to information, contacts and capital. The OEN PubTalk is a great starting place for entrepreneurs to find just that.
OEN's PubTalk, held the second Wednesday of every month (except July and December), is a unique mix of educational panel discussions delivered by successful entrepreneurs, investors or business experts combined with opportunities for entrepreneurs to gain expertise in delivering investment pitches. Entrepreneurs can present as a featured company at a monthly PubTalk or they can compete in OEN's Seed Oregon PubTalk competition.
During the monthly PubTalks, OEN selects two emerging entrepreneurs to present their five-minute pitch on who they are, and what they do in front of a live audience of experienced entrepreneurs. Presenting Northwest business entrepreneurs receive feedback on their products, services, business model, marketing strategy, or other integral component of their business. The objective is to leverage the strength and experience of the community, providing an invaluable learning opportunity for young entrepreneurs.
OEN PubTalk, held at Bridgeport Brewpub, is $15 for OEN members, $25 for non-members . If you're interested in either making a five-minute pitch or being a featured company at PubTalk, contact OEN. Or apply to compete in OEN's Seed Oregon PubTalk.
