OEN March PubTalk: The FoundHER Panel

 

Over 42% of new businesses are started by women, yet recent reports have found that female founders receive only about 2-3% of venture capital funding.

In honor of Women’s History Month, Oregon Entrepreneurs Network (OEN) and our partner Stoel Rives invite you to join us for a panel featuring female founders from a diverse range of industries as they talk about their journey as entrepreneurs.

From securing funding to balancing work-life demands, this discussion will highlight their innovative companies, best practices, and connections that have made them successful. This amazing panel will share the hard truths of starting and scaling a business along with the resilience they learned in order to succeed in today’s competitive landscape.

OEN May PubTalk: Seed to Growth: Stages & Sources of Startup Funding

 

Startups go through various funding stages as they grow and strive for success

Traditionally, startup founders with means have relied on personal savings and “friends and family” investment rounds to kick start their businesses. Another alternative is taking out a loan with a bank or other financial institution in exchange for repayment of the principal and interest over time. 

However, in the mid-20th century, startups began seeking external investment from venture capitalists, who provided capital and expertise in exchange for equity with the promise of scaling rapidly. And in recent years, the startup financing landscape has continued to expand even further.

Angel investors and networks have become increasingly crucial early-stage funding sources while crowdfunding platforms have allowed startups to raise funds from a broad audience of individuals. Startups have also explored alternative financing options, such as revenue-based and token sales.

On Wednesday, May 8th join Oregon Entrepreneurs Network and our friends from Silicon Valley Bank for a panel conversation about the variety of opportunities open to entrepreneurs to secure the capital they need to turn an innovative idea into a successful business.
