SUMMARY:Tech Talk: Homepage Makeover — 5 Fixes That Turn Visitors Into Leads
DESCRIPTION:Your homepage should do one job: turn visitors into leads. Join us for Homepage Makeover. \n\n\n\n\nIf your website gets visits but not many calls\, form submissions\, or bookings\, your homepage may be doing too much—or not making the next step obvious. \nIn this 60–90 minute Tech Talk\, we’ll walk through five simple homepage fixes that help customers quickly understand: what you do\, who you serve\, and what to do next. You’ll leave with a clearer “promise” statement\, one stronger primary call-to-action\, and a short “implement this week” list you can actually complete. \nWe’ll cover: \n\nFix #1: A clear promise (what you do + who you serve + where you serve)\nFix #2: One primary CTA (call/book/contact) placed in the right spots\nFix #3: Proof that builds trust (reviews\, real photos\, credentials)\nFix #4: Skim-friendly service sections + “how it works”\nFix #5: Mobile + contact clarity (tap-to-call\, short forms\, easy path to contact)\n\nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Startup Engine Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Todd Davey for an interactive workshop designed for early-stage\, innovation-driven founders. \n\n\n\n\nThis interactive session will be led by Todd Davey\, Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship at the Institut Mines-Télécom Business School in Paris\, Adjunct Fellow at the University of Technology Sydney\, and visiting academic at the Technical University of Vienna and Washington University in St. Louis. Todd brings more than 20 years of consulting and commercialization experience\, including prior roles with Deloitte Australia’s Technology Commercialisation Group and as part of the executive team of one of Australia’s fastest-growing tech startups in the 2000s. He is an Associate Partner at the University-Industry Innovation Network\, author of Entrepreneurship at Universities\, and creator of the Startup Engine methodology and TechAdvance™\, a tool for evaluating technologies. \nThe workshop is designed for early-stage\, innovation-driven founders who are working to refine problem-solution fit\, clarify product-market fit\, and strengthen the foundations of a scalable venture. \nThis session is particularly well suited for traded-sector\, innovation-based companies with ambition to grow beyond a local market. Through a structured\, hands-on methodology\, you will pressure-test core assumptions in your business model and leave with clearer next steps. Attached are additional materials about the session. \nBecause the format is team-based\, we strongly encourage founders to attend with at least one additional team member\, such as a co-founder or key collaborator. Participating as a small team will maximize the session’s value\, but it is not required. \nSpace is limited to approximately 30 participants\, and advance registration is required. \nIf you have questions about fit or logistics\, feel free to reach out to mary@raincatalysts.org We hope you will consider joining us for this focused and high-impact morning. \nThis event is hosted by the Cascades West Innovation Hub (powered by RAIN) in partnership with the Linn-Benton SBDC.
