SUMMARY:OSU Advantage Accelerator Webinar: SBIR/STTR Success Tips for Startups
DESCRIPTION:As all entrepreneurs know\, startups need cash\, and it’s not always each to come by. Also known as America’s Seed Fund\, The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs provide a combined total of over $4 billion in early stage\, non-dilutive funding for America’s entrepreneurs each year! Additionally\, these awards are either grants or contracts (not loans or investment)\, which means that you as the entrepreneur don’t have to give up any equity or repay the funds so long as you complete the work in your grant. At this point you probably have questions and are wondering how to get your hands on one of these awards—this is where the OSU Advantage Accelerator can help! Register now for our February speaker series event where you’ll have the opportunity to ask an SBIR/STTR expert about application logistics\, common pitfalls\, and other advice to help make your SBIR/STTR proposal more competitive. \nJoin us on Monday\, February 28th from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. for a conversation with Leon Wolf\, SBIR/STTR assistance coordinator at VertueLab. You’ll get to hear us ask Leon some important questions about the SBIR/STTR application process\, as well as have a chance to ask him your own questions during our audience Q&A. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Loopr AI: Break the Bias in Startups
DESCRIPTION:As part of International Women’s Day\, Loopr AI\, is organizing a webinar titled “Break the Bias in Startups” \nStartups are responsible for the biggest wealth re-distribution in the last 100 years. Yet\, women are largely locked out of the biggest startup success stories. 7 of the wealthiest 10 people in the world are startup founders but no woman features on the list. In 2021\, only 2.3% of entrepreneurs globally who raised VC funding were women. More closely\, none of the Greater Seattle Unicorns is women-led. \nJoin us on 22nd March 2022 to explore the reasons behind the disparity and find ways to collectively help bridge the gap and bring women entrepreneurs to an equal footing. \nThe Guest Speakers of this event are: \nSharan Hildebrand – Vice President Strategic Alliances North America\, Hitachi Solutions\nSurabhi Rathore – CEO & Co-founder\, Symbl.ai\nLilia Shirman – CEO\, The Shirman Group\nAravinda Gollapudi – Technology & Strategic Operations Executive\, Sage \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:OregonBio - Need to Speed: Manufacturing ATMP Products
DESCRIPTION:Need to Speed is the name of the game when building a facility to manufacture ATMP products. With a heavy focus on an accelerated schedule and getting your product faster to market this brings unique risks. Converting some project risk factors into success factors could change your whole dynamic and lead to a effective facility start-up. First\, there does not need to be a trade-off between cost\, schedule\, and quality\, if your team understands how to deliver quality right first. There are five (5) risks to a facility start up project. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Vertue Lab & Women in Science PDX: Badass Women Entrepreneurs
DESCRIPTION:Badass women who have turned their science into successful business ventures and the funding resources that have supported them and others. \nVertueLab and Women in Science PDX are celebrating the fifth year of Badass Women Entrepreneurs! \nThis annual event spotlights badass women with badass science startups.

Please wear a mask when you are not eating or drinking. \nProof of vaccination must include your full name & date of birth. Acceptable proof of “full vaccination” are below: \n⁃ A CDC-issued vaccination card including the name of the person vaccinated\, the type of vaccination provided and the date that the last dose was administered. \n⁃ A printed photo of a CDC-issued vaccination card. \n⁃ A digital photo of a CDC-issued vaccination card stored on a phone or electronic device. \n⁃ A digital vaccination record from your medical provider or pharmacy website or app. \nWhat are the odds of a student pursuing a STEAM career?

Saturday Academy’s impact on those odds helps students to see themselves in STEAM careers. \nHere at Saturday Academy\, it is our mission to encourage students to follow their curiosity and to increase the odds of underserved students entering the STEAM fields. Serving grades 2-12 in the areas of science\, technology\, engineering\, art\, and math since 1983\, we have paved the way for students to build their confidence and explore topics of interest to them outside the school day. \nIn 2021\, Saturday Academy vowed to bring more programming directly to underserved and underrepresented students through our Saturday 2 You (SA2U) program helping provide free STEAM classes and camps for students who oftentimes have the odds against them. \nGet tickets here.

SUMMARY:OBI Hybrid Lunch & Learn: Demystifying Commercial Real Estate Leasing
DESCRIPTION:This event is in-person for a limited number of attendees at beautiful CBRE in downtown Portland & also livestreamed on Zoom. View replay here. \nAbout this event\nNurturing your business in the confines of an incubator like OBI/OTRADI means you haven’t had to worry much about a traditional commercial real estate lease with a conventional landlord. But many of you will come to a point where you outgrow OBI and need to find your own lab and/or office space. But when do you start those conversations and how does it all work? This session is designed to demystify the leasing process and shed some light on the sometimes opaque and jargon-filled industry that is commercial real estate. Topics covered include: \n\nOverview of the commercial real estate landscape in the Greater Portland Region\nWhat can a tenant representative commercial real estate broker do for you?\nOverview of the entire process\, start to finish\, from contemplating a move to move-in day.\nWhat can you expect to pay? What’s the difference between a NNN and FSG rental rate?\nYou need a lab with venting hoods plus special plumbing for equipment: what might that add to the buildout / tenant improvement cost and who will pay?\nWhat are the various fees involved and who pays who?\n\nOne of OBI’s most prominent graduates is Sean McClain of Absci. Come hear from Kristin Hammond and Ajay Malhotra from CBRE Portland\, who Sean personally selected to represent Absci in the search for their new 78\,000 square foot headquarters in Vancouver. Kristin and Ajay\, three-time winners of the independent Oregon-Washington Commercial Association of Brokers Top Office Team of the Year\, will use their work with the Absci executive team as a case study to illuminate every step of the process and answer any questions you may have. \nAbout the Speakers:\nKristin Hammond \nKristin is a Senior Vice President in the Portland\, Oregon office of CBRE.

SUMMARY:OregonBio: Gene Tools and their Morpholino Antisense Oligos
DESCRIPTION:In this program\, we’ll  learn how about Gene Tool’s work with Morpholino antisense oligos\, which they design and manufacture.  Morpholinos bind to complementary RNA and get in the way of processes such as translation\, splicing and miRNA activity. Morpholinos are the premier knockdown tools used in developmental biology labs\, the best RNA-blocking reagents for cells in culture and\, as Vivo-Morpholinos\, the most specific delivery-enhanced oligos available for animal models. \nRegister here.
