And next week, three veteran entrepreneurs from the Willamette Valley will share their personal roller-coaster stories with the Startup Florence Coast com- munity. Founders’ Fireside Chat will be held Wednesday, June 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Ocean Dunes Golf Links, 3345 Munsel Lake Road. The event is free to attend. Light food and beverage will be served. For more information, including registration, go to bit.ly/FloCo_FiresideChat. The speakers include: Katie Brown — Founder, katiebrownla.com: A serial entrepreneur who has built several food and beverage businesses and is now in the fashion apparel industry. She launched her line, Katie Brown L.A., over a year ago and has had sales across the nation. She will share her story about balancing family and entrepreneurship, as well as what it’s like building a high-growth fashion line in Eugene. Derek Schloss — Co- Founder, cowbucker.com: An entrepreneur who launched a line of hats with classmates while attending the University of Oregon. They have since landed accounts all over the country. Derek will share his entrepreneurial journey, including his experience going through the RAIN Eugene accelerator, and how he and his co-founders are ramping up to raise more cap- ital to grow. Todd Edman — Founder, Waitrainer.com: Waitrainer is a software that simplifies training and increases staff and customer retention in the restaurant industry. Todd is also the former CEO/Owner of Lunar Logic, a software development firm in Eugene. Todd will share what it was like to spin-out a new soft- ware application from Lunar Logic, as well as what it was like going through the RAIN Eugene Accelerator. “These are three successful entrepreneurs, but I think peo- ple will find them very relat- able, and that the milestones they’ve reached while build- ing businesses — making sales, raising capital and hir- ing employees — are realistic goals for many of the early entrepreneurs here in Florence,” said Caroline Cummings, Venture Catalyst for Oregon RAIN. This event is part of the new entrepreneurial movement, Startup Florence Coast (#StartupFloCo), launched by RAIN and the City of Florence in late 2015. “Founders’ Fireside Chat is our 10th Startup Florence Coast event. It’s remarkable how quickly this community has grown, both in terms of its size and its grasp of entrepre- neurship. In many ways this next event is a capstone for everything we’ve done so far because it brings in so many concepts that we’ve looked at in separate events: inspira- tion, education, mentoring and industry,” said Kelli Weese, Florence Economic Development coordinator. The Regional Accelerator and Innovation Network (RAIN) is an Oregon consor- tium of government, higher education, and the business community. RAIN was found- ed by the State of Oregon’s Regional Solutions network and funded by the 77th Oregon State Legislative Assembly to advance the for- mation of high-growth inno- vative startup companies located in Lane, Linn, Benton and Lincoln counties.
