Young Entrepreneur Social Charity Auction

by Joe Wallin on May 17, 2013 in Startup Events with No comments

YESDo you want to make a local impact right now?

Are you someone interested in encouraging young entrepreneurs and leaders here in Seattle?

Or, are you a young leader yourself who is interested in building a better community locally?

On June 6th, the Young Entrepreneur Social is hosting a charity auction at the Bellevue Arts Museum in support of an innovative online platform that will incentivize young leaders to connect, share resources, mentor and volunteer to make a difference in their local communities.

YES, a local non-profit supporting young entrepreneurs and leaders, believes this platform will have a profound impact on creating resources, community and support for Seattle entrepreneurs and get these young leaders giving back at a much younger age than they normally would to support local non-profits and provide a more vibrant Seattle community.

So, please come join us at 7:30 on June 6th for this red-carpet affair where you will have full access to the Bellevue Arts Museum, drinks, hors d’oeuvres, entertainment, great networking and a host of exciting silent auction items to help support our cause. Tickets are available at Shindigg.com/YESExp and donations are also accepted.

Get your ticket by Monday, May 20th, and save 33% with our early bird special!

The event has been fully funded by our event sponsors so 100% of proceeds from ticket sales, donations, and silent auction items will go directly to funding the YESLeaders.org platform, which a prototype of the platform will be unveiled for the first time to attendees of this event.

Valuation of Emerging Technology CompaniesAre valuations art or science?

Why aren’t all valuations the same?

How much is common stock worth relative to preferred stock?

The answers to these and many other pressing questions will be answered when Greg Endicott, Managing Director of Strategic Value Group, LLC, brings his 20 years of experience and knowledge to Davis, Wright, Tremaine for this valuable meetup.

This will be a free forum discussion.

Some of the issues discussed will be:

  • The different reasons for valuations of early-stage companies
  • Valuation methodologies utilized at the various stages of development
  • The why, who and when of 409A valuations

Event: Come Talk Startup Public Policy with Congressman Rick Larsen!

by Joe Wallin on March 22, 2013 in Startup Events with No comments

Congressman Rick Larsen (@repricklarsen), who represents Washington’s 2nd Congressional District, has graciously agreed to come and talk to us about startup public policy.

We are hosting this event at our Seattle offices, at 1201 Third Avenue, Suite 2200, in Seattle, on Tuesday, April 2nd, at 7:30 am in the morning.

This event will be a free flowing discussion of startup public policy. The broad question for discussion is: What can we do, from a public policy perspective, to improve the law as it applies to startups?

If you are interested in attending, please RSVP at http://www.meetup.com/Startup-Growth-Company-Breakfast-Group/events/108908762/ and also email me any questions that you want to ask the Congressman at the meetup. I’ll be the moderator of the discussion.

I hope you can attend.
