SUMMARY:Escaping GTM Hell: From Activity to Impact
DESCRIPTION:When targets get missed\, the instinct is to do more. More leads. More calls. More pressure. That’s not a strategy. That’s GTM hell.\n\nThis session works on two levels – providing immediate strategies to improve results now and a framework for building a repeatable growth engine going forward.\n\nIn 45 minutes\, we’ll walk through:\n\n– Eight pillars that drive (or stall) growth\n– What each looks like when it drifts\n– A prioritization lens for where to act first\, without blowing up what’s working\n\nThis session is designed for growth-stage companies navigating real commercial complexity: expanding into B2B\, managing hybrid revenue models\, or outgrowing the motion that got you here.\n\nYou’ll leave with a clear path out of the activity spiral and back to efficient revenue growth.\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482541

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Formation and Licensing: What Founders Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Launching a life sciences company requires more than a breakthrough idea—it demands building the right corporate foundation from day one. In this Virtual Lunch & Learn session\, aspiring founders will gain practical\, actionable insight into two core pillars of early‑stage biotech company formation. First\, we will cover why corporate formation matters and what founders need to get right early on: choosing the appropriate corporate structure\, properly issuing founder equity\, creating and maintaining a clean cap table\, establishing a functional board of directors\, and preparing for future financing. These elements are essential for attracting investors\, protecting founder ownership\, and avoiding preventable legal and operational pitfalls.\n\nSecond\, attendees will learn what to expect when in‑licensing foundational intellectual property from a university\, academic medical center\, or research institution—the critical step that often enables company formation in life sciences. We will demystify the tech transfer process\, discuss typical economic and diligence terms\, and highlight common negotiation and operational considerations so founders understand both the opportunities and obligations that come with licensing core IP. Whether you are preparing to launch your first venture or exploring commercial pathways for your science\, this session will provide clarity\, context\, and confidence as you take the next steps on your entrepreneurial journey.\nTags: biotech\, entrepreneur\, funding\, networking\, science\, startup\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482519

SUMMARY:Co-creAIt\, an unconference about human/AI collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Co-creAIt is an unconference about Humans and Generative AI collaborating at work. The event is for brand-side digital leaders\, agencies\, consultants\, developers\, and other creative professionals.

It’s the most interactive and collaborative event type.\n\nNOTE: Each attendee will get a box lunch at the event.\n\n\nTESTIMONIAL from Co-creAIt 2025 attendee:\n\n"Having never attended an “unconference” before\, Co-CreAIt was a breath of fresh air. It brought together a mix of AI-curious folks—technologists\, filmmakers\, and business leaders across a wide range of industries and skill levels. Everyone felt genuinely welcome. The format felt laid-back and fluid\, unlike a typically rigid event. I met some really interesting people and left inspired. It’s exciting to see a community like this starting to take shape in Portland. Looking forward to the next one!"\n\nGarett Stenson\, Founder & Head of Strategy\, db clay\, Founder\, MIXED* AI film festival\n\n\nYou’ve put in the time to learn and use some GenAI tools. Now’s the time to gather with your peers in these essential discussions about the pros & cons of humans and GenAI working together\, best practices\, etc.\n\n\nEVENT PRODUCER\n\nThis is the 2nd Co-creAIt event produced by Steve Gehlen & co-produced by Al Partridge.
