Your membership drive is a major success. You have a gazillion members… but revenue, not so much. So what’s the plan? What’s the strategy? How do you take those members and make money? Many have tried and few have succeeded. Join NWEN for a talk from Michael Schutzler, CEO of Livemocha as he discusses how he and his team took a gazillion members and turned them into a revenue machine.

Whether you are a game startup or a thinking of starting a new company, this event is for you. From Founder’s Sessions to an indie game competition, this day-long event has something for everyone. Listen to industry experts in the Founder’s Sessions and see the latest Seattle indie game projects at this event held at DigiPen.

Nearly every startup company goes through a period when cash is extremely tight and the demands of fueling the company’s growth are monumental. How many compelling ideas never make it to market because the entrepreneurs couldn’t keep their companies viable until they could receive substantial outside funding or become self-sustaining? This workshop will provide you with the techniques you need to maximize early cash inflow and control cash outflow. In addition marketing, finance and legal experts, you will hear successful entrepreneurs talk about their real-life stories of bootstrapping their companies to success.

Sign up to give a 30-second pitch here.

“People are trying to solve the wrong problem(s). Typically they are either trying to “solve” symptoms and not a real problem, or they have a mistaken understanding of what is important. This leads to waste trying to solve irrelevant or non-existent problems.”

The SD2600 meets are not like the average User Group meets (nor even the standard 2600 meets). There is rarely an “official” speaker, rarely a topic or agenda, and extremely unstructured. People just show up and group off based on the discussion of each group (and anyone can join the discussion in any group).

Are you looking for a potential co-founder for your idea or existing startup? Maybe you want to be part of a startup on the ground floor? This is then event you’ve been waiting for! Food and drink will be served.
