Time is drawing near and this event is looking amazing! A few quick resources if you haven’t already seen them:

1. Friday night pitch format is 90 seconds – start with the problem, identify your solution, express the needs you see to accomplish the solution. There is no projector for this, only a mic and 90 seconds! Good outline and info here for First Timers.

(remember, you do not have to pitch an idea, generally only 25% of people in every event do!

2. Free legal docs and questions that most startups encounter are answered here.

3. A rough schedule is on the site as a drop down!

4. Call or e-mail me with any questions.

Special Offers to check out for attendees:

1. Free hosting will be provided by PEAK Internet and Wowrack. Redeemable at the event.

2. Get info and sign up for Sun Startup Essentials.

3. Get info and request a code for Microsoft BizSpark from Startup Weekend.

4. Check out the Twilio challenge

If you are interested in sponsoring via cash, a meal, or drinks, we could still use a bit more help to cover all the costs. Contact us or more info here.

Thanks to the companies and people that have helped make this happen! Davis Wright Tremaine, Peak Internet, Sun Microsystems, Corvallis Chamber Coalition, the guys at Proworks, and of course, John Sechrest!

See you all Friday!
