A BIG thank you to all who attended our annual "The Funded" gathering last week. Our invite-only event brings together funded CEOs, founders and executives (whether funded by OVF or others), and experts to build meaningful connections, collaborate, educate and inspire. The Funded is a forum for CEOs to connect and hone their collective craft by learning from and sharing experiences with CEO peers. Our goal is to ensure every venture-backed CEO in Oregon knows one another on a first name basis. Thank you to Dan Quiggle and the Flow Research Collective who taught us about the achievements possible by just harnessing the power of flow state. The Flow Research team uses neuroscience based training to help folks accomplish more, in less time, with greater ease. Anything is possible! Thanks also to the numerous attendees who made it engaging, fun and incredibly rewarding. Including: Jessica Murrey from Wicked Saints Studios, Greg Davis from Bigleaf Networks, John Ewert from Eclypsium, Inc., Steve Giannini, Sam Kolbert-Hyle from Brandlive, Kat McCormick, PhD from InVivo Biosystems, Colin Nederkoorn from Customer.io, Nick Poggi ✈️ from TrovaTrip, Nicole Schmidt from Source, Ryan Comingdeer from Platformr, Justin Rigling, Wylie Robinson from Rumpl, Jared Schwartz from Honey Mama's, Ross Gray from Cloud Campaign, Allie Persitz (Magyar), Andrew Grenville, Gabe Paez, Monica Enand, Eric Breon, George DeCarlo, Jim Gochee, Rasik Parikh from Madrona - just to name a few. Thanks to all for joining and engaging. Big thanks to Silicon Valley Bank's Kyle Swan and Bruce Helberg for co-sponsoring!
Another great event from OVF. I really appreciate the community building this organization does.
Amazing!
