[NOTICE] NWEN Entrepreneur University '08 Nov. 6th
Nathan Kaiser
I wanted to send out a quick email about the upcoming NWEN Entrepreneur University (EU) on Thursday, November 6th. There are going to be a number of great speakers and seminars about what it takes to be an entrepreneur. If you are thinking about starting a company or have already started one, this might be a good event for you.
Disclaimer, I am on the Board of Directors of NWEN. If you have any questions about either NWEN, EU, or my sending this email, please feel free to contact me via email (nka...@gmail.com) or phone (206.335.2671).
Thanks,
Nathan Kaiser

Worried about the economy? Actually, this is a great time to
start your business!
And Entrepreneur
University 2008 is the place to be on November 6, 2008.
Lurking within the clouds of this economic downturn are some silver linings for
savvy entrepreneurs.
· With unemployment rising, now is
the time to recruit good talent that may become available.
· Although capital may be in short
supply now, that will change in a year or two and those who start now will be
ready.
· Given the lower capital required
for early stage ventures, angel investors are always looking for rising stars.
· You can also score great deals on
office space, equipment, and other resources in this economy.
Our most recent NWEN Breakfast speaker, Lucinda Stewart of OVP Partners, echoed
this notion when she affirmed that now is a great time to start a business.
At EU 2008 you will hear from real-life entrepreneurs who know what it's
like:
· Steve McCracken, CEO of Culture
Mob, on "Should I bootstrap or seek investor funding?" (He's
done both.)
· Kabir Shahani, CEO of Appature, on
"What about my competition?" (He is carving out a profitable niche
among large companies.)
· Pete Parsons, CEO of Fyreball, on
"What do investors look for in a business plan?" (He's done
several.)
