We're hosting this historic event at the perfect venue - the historic McDonald Theatre in Eugene. There are two different types of business plan pitches. All submitting companies must be emerging-growth, and seeking somewhere between $200,000 and $2 million in seed/early-stage funding. The first set of pitches are wildcards called IGNITE-STYLE PITCHES - where up to six start-ups will have the opportunity to deliver their business plan in 3.5 minutes (13 slides, automatically advance every 15 seconds). This is a high energy event. The audience votes for the company they think has the most viable business plan. The winner will compete in the main pitch event, and vie for a minimum investment prize of $125,000.

 

The MAIN PITCH consists of six start-up companies (5 who have been pre-selected, plus the 1 wildcard winner) who each have 10 minutes to deliver their business plan. Each pitch is followed by 7 minutes of feedback and audience Q&A which is facilitated by an expert panel of investors.

 

The winner is selected by an investor committee called the Willamette Angel Conference LLC. This group of investors was assembled in late 2009/early 2010. The investors will have spent several weeks reviewing submitted business plans and conducting due diligence on the companies that show the most promise of a return.
