For the second consecutive year, the Firm proudly supported TechfestNW, a global conference that brings together leading thinkers passionate about technology, design, entrepreneurship and innovation focused on highlighting Portland, Oregon as one of America’s next technology centers.
During the event, Frank Paganelli and Matt Viers presented “Valuation Basics for Startups,” providing entrepreneurs with information on how to value their company as well as other capital strategies. Paganelli also served as a judge for PitchfestNW, a conference within TechfestNW, where more than 75 companies pitched to a panel of investors for a slew of prizes. Lane Powell made a contribution to the PitchfestNW Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance for those pitching to get an amplified package including a chance to demo their product, have one-on-one consultations with investors, receive judges notes and get extra media exposure from TechfestNW. Paganelli volunteered to meet with those pitching for the one-on-ones.
