SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: The Scientist-CEO Communication Trap: Why Brilliant Founders Create the Exact Problem That Stalls
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Virtual Lunch & Learn presented by Dr. Yoanne Clovis as she explores how PhD and MD founders can adapt their communication approach as their companies grow. \nAs the scientist who discovered and developed your product\, you are the best person in the company to explain the science to other experts in your field. You can close the first round and convince the first hires\, usually also scientists. But scientists often fall into the expert trap\, when your deep expertise prevents them from connecting with non-experts\, like angel investors and non-scientist executives who could become your next hire or your next partner. What made you credible in the lab becomes a liability as the team grows. \nThis session looks at the specific pattern PhD and MD founders fall into somewhere between fifteen people and sixty: the founder keeps leaning on the science and insists on leading the communications alone\, long after the company has outgrown that approach. Dr. Clovis will walk through when things tend to change structurally\, why “I’ll handle it myself” stops working\, and what early-stage and pre-Phase II leaders can put in place now to maintain scientific integrity while growing the company. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Patent Pitfalls: The Early Mistakes That Come Back to Bite You
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Virtual Lunch & Learn presented by Oliver Richards and Madelyn McCormick as they explore the common patent mistakes that early-stage companies make and how to avoid costly issues down the road. Most patent mistakes are cheap to avoid and expensive to fix. The trouble is that the fixing usually happens years later\, in a licensing dispute\, a due-diligence review\, or a courtroom\, long after the startup that made the mistake has moved on. This session looks at the most common patent errors early-stage companies make\, from public disclosures that quietly forfeit foreign rights\, to ownership and inventorship gaps\, to provisional applications that don’t actually protect what the founders think they do. \nRather than a checklist of best practices\, the talk works backward from how these mistakes surface once a patent is challenged or enforced\, from the vantage point of a patent litigator who spends his days on the consequences. Attendees will leave with a practical sense of which early decisions actually matter\, which ones are recoverable\, and where a modest investment of attention up front saves a great deal of money and heartburn later. \nWatch HERE

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Are You Lender Ready? Unlocking Capital with SBA Revolving Lines
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Virtual Lunch & Learn presented by Matthew Schmidt as he shares practical strategies for preparing your business for financing and making the most of SBA lending programs. This session will cover what lenders look for when evaluating loan applications\, as well as how SBA revolving lines of credit can help businesses manage cash flow\, support operations\, and position themselves for growth. \nSBA “Are You Lender Ready?” \nThe SBA’s “Are You Lender Ready?” presentations are designed to help entrepreneurs think like a bank and successfully navigate the commercial loan process. These sessions unpack critical underwriting criteria—such as credit scores\, cash flow\, and financial statements—while teaching owners how to build a compelling loan package. By learning how to present a solid business pitch and connecting directly with local lenders\, participants gain the practical tools needed to transition from seeking capital to securing it. \nUnlocking Capital: Maximizing the Power of SBA Revolving Lines \n“Unlocking Capital” focuses on utilizing flexible\, short-term financing—like CAP Lines and the Working Capital Pilot Program—to optimize day-to-day business operations. Unlike standard term loans\, these revolving lines allow owners to draw funds as needed to manage uneven cash flow\, cover seasonal inventory\, or fund payroll. By leveraging accounts receivable or purchase orders\, businesses can secure higher advance rates and lower interest costs\, providing the sustained liquidity required to scale and fulfill larger contracts. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:From Discovery to Clinical Impact: Translating Academic Science into Therapeutic Impact
DESCRIPTION:Join OHSU Innovates for the third installment of the Drug Discovery Series\, featuring Tom Scanlan\, Ph.D.\, professor of chemical physiology and biochemistry at the OHSU School of Medicine and co-founder and scientific adviser to Autobahn Therapeutics\, in conversation with Travis Cook\, senior director of OHSU Innovates. \nThis session will explore how discoveries from an academic lab can advance toward therapeutic development while strengthening the underlying science.

SUMMARY:Oregon Bio Women CONNECT | Portland
DESCRIPTION:When the Playbook Runs Out: Innovation and You 2.0\n\nInnovation that changes the playing field\, splinters the glass ceiling and grows talent requires hard work. And evolution\, flexibility and scalability. \nOn June 11\, Oregon Bio Women will be in force to connect with each other and four of the brilliant minds of 6453 Forward\, the Nike alumni-founded think tank and talent powerhouse. \nWhether the sports or the life sciences industry\, emerging leaders and established pros must both navigate and make change\, pivot with purpose in uncertainty\, and create internal influence with vision and resilience. It’s time to test assumptions and  hone our ever-changing\, go-forward strategies. \nOregon Life Sciences Interim President & CEO Dr. Ndeye Makalou is scheduled to attend – come say hello! \nAt CONNECT 2026\, we’ll spend focused time with leader legends. Our presenters/panelists/pod leaders serve as the core team of 6453 Forward – a Portland-based consulting firm and talent marketplace founded by Nike alums\, specializing in brand strategy\, marketing\, and operational optimization. Operating in the “space between traditional consultancies and creative brand studios\,” each brings the expertise and connections of former Nike leaders to deliver innovative\, fast-paced business and coaching solutions born from pivot-quick experience. \nThe topline of CONNECT 2026 discussion topics: \n\nThe Squeeze: Leading up and down through change – how to build influence upward and trust downward when everything around is shifting.\nChangemaking and evolving immediately – creating the roadmap when strategy is unclear/still unfolding.\nDriving momentum through the art and science of innovation.\nLeaders and their impact in times of change and uncertainty – practical\, actionable strategies/tactics to implement in times of change.\nTeaming up and down – adjusting course in real time\, and keeping momentum when the playbook runs out.\n\nLet’s be clear; there’s a lot of juice to squeeze. This landmark – and fun – Oregon Bio Women (OBW) gathering offers a workshop-style format with targeted networking time\, industry leader presentations and panel discussions\, followed by facilitated small-group interactions with topical pods. This annual event is one of several OBW pro dev sessions providing professional and personal development opportunities for emerging-leader women in the life science and STEM careers stratum\, as well as key linkages to mentoring opportunities and industry-specific support. \nRegister HERE
