About this Event
EVENT
This is the 11th year of the premiere Starve Ups Launch Pad event which has been described by founders as, “the most valuable event you can attend as a new startup”. It is 2.5 days, 5 panels, 2 keynotes, and has 1 goal.
It is highly intensive, insanely effective, is just for founders and their early stage teams, and it is FREE. We provide everything solely to our startup founder peers.
Simply sign up and be there to learn from your expert founder peers about the 5 key elements to building your startup, and why “proven peer mentoring for founders” is the missing link in the startup success.
You will learn more in one weekend than in years as a founder. Build a founder network of your own, be motivated and inspired beyond belief, and you may even qualify to win thousands of dollars of product prizes from other Oregon startup companies.
So, sign up here, now as seats are limited and we have to cap the participation. Ask anyone that has ever been to Launch Pad and they will say it was amazing for them and their team. Register now, right here.

SCHEDULE
FRIDAY - 6PM - 8:30PM The event begins with a light dinner, an overview of the event, and then the founder attendees are split into teams. Next, we have an amazing keynote speaker who has been highly successful in the startup ecosystem. Finally, we go through 20 second pitches by all of the founders in attendance.
SATURDAY - 8AM - 5:30PM We start day two with networking over breakfast and then we move into the first three of five founder panels. Each panel discusses an area of building startups critical to new founders (i.e. Team Building, Fundraising, Sales & Marketing). Then, between each panel is an interactive team exercise where the panels' feedback is put to the test.
SUNDAY - 8AM - 1:30PM We begin day three again with another networking breakfast and then the final two panels and interactive team exercises. We wrap up the event with one more keynote and with feedback from each of the founders/teams in attendance around the impact the event had on them.
GRAVY
Finally, the winning team takes home a ton of products from local Starve Ups companies and other local startups. Over the course of the 2.5 days founders build knowledge, refine skills, build networks and learn about proven peer mentoring in a way they never have before. It's invaluable and will get founders stoked for the ventures they have founded.
