It is 2.5 days, 5 panels, 2 keynotes, and 1 goal. It is highly intensive, it is insanely effective, it is just for founders and their early stage teams, and it is free.

You will learn more in one weekend than in years as a founder, you will build a founder network of your own, you will be motivated 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 as we have to cap the participation.

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 founders in attendance.DAY 2We start day two with networking over breakfast, and then 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 &amp; Marketing). Then, between each panel is an interactive team exercise where the panels' feedback is put to the test.DAY 3We 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.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 is simply invaluable and will get founders stoked for the ventures they have founded.ADDITIONAL DETAILSSee <a href="https://www.starveups.com/events/launchpad/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.starveups.com/events/launchpad/</a> for further information from last year's event along with photos from past events.
