Every week, we bring you Seattle’s top tech events. This week, we have the How Startup Valuation Works workshop, the Tech Happy Hour, plus more. Check out our top picks below, then head over to our blog to catch up on everything tech-related in the Seattle area.
How Startup Valuation Works
May 22 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Many entrepreneurs struggle with having the “valuation” discussion with investors. Given that many startups have no revenue, much fewer profits, well established quantitative methods simply do not work well. Join Yi-Jian Ngo from the Alliance of Angels for an interactive workshop on startup valuation. You will learn some practical guidelines and three specific methods that entrepreneurs can use to guide their valuation negotiations.
Alliance of Angels Pitch Clinic @ UW
May 23 @ 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm
The Alliance of Angels (AOA) Pitch Clinic is an educational event tailored specifically to entrepreneurs on how to effectively pitch a startup business plan to angel investors. Come hang out with the most active angel group in the Pacific Northwest. Each year, the AOA invests $10M+ into 20+ companies, and the AOA network of 140+ active angel investors is backed by a $6.6M seed fund.
Startup Storytellers: Greatest mistakes and lessons learned
May 24 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Come hear the war stories from startup founders and the lessons they learned along the way. Mistakes and failures can take many forms. In the “fail fast” culture of startup life, it’s hard to take a second to catch your breath and reflect on those mistakes in order to move forward, learn from the experience, and hopefully not repeat it.
