SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 2017 Union from 1A “Ultimately, though, we prefer to maintain a direct relationship with all our care- givers and strive for honest, balanced relationships.” Stehmer also pointed out that unions have no power to grant promises and can only obtain what is agreed upon through negotiations Startups from 1A Carl Hulan — Local Grange Founding Florence cohort member Hulan has been with RAIN since its efforts began on the coast in October 2015. Originally working on an app, Hulan has now developed a multi-platform webpage that connects people to organic farms in their areas. “There’s a big market for people who want to eat local, with PeaceHealth. “If the union promises something, ask them to put it in writing,” Stehmer cau- tioned. Blake Hausmann, Director of Human Resources for PeaceHealth, added that if a union is voted in, there are no guarantees in collective bargaining. Wages and bene- fits could stay the same, go up or even go down, and that organic food. This is a growing market. With Local Grange, people can get access to local produce without needing to do a ton of research themselves,” Hulan said. One of the Pre-Accelerator’s lessons has involved the pivot, or reorienting Hulan toward a user-friendly platform that can be scaled up over time. “The class has taught me things I didn’t know I didn’t know. And that is so impor- tant,” he said. Hulan’s next steps involve COMING SOON!

Patricia Immel and Sarah Butte — NatureSavvy This new product line by the owners of Rose & Crown Apothecary in Florence offers organic self-care solutions for amputees to improve their quality of life, using the healing power of medicinal plants. Immel and Butte attended a mentoring session at RAIN Corvallis and realized the mar- ket need for such products. “We were instantly ener- gized to formulate and bring to market organic botanical self- care products to help improve quality of life for amputees,” Immel said. For Butte and Immel, RAIN and the Pre-Accelerator “create an abundant economic devel- opment ecosystem for entrepre- neurs” and provide “an exhila- rating intellectually engaging process that lives up to its name.” Next steps for NatureSavvy include continuing a relation- ship with RAIN and growing into a thriving, sustainable coastal company.

Lindsey Phillips — Meant Manufacturing Meant Manufacturing designs and creates one of a kind handbags and accessories using authentic local materials, including Pendleton wool. Founder Phillips began making items for personal use, and received positive feedback and interest. “Soon, people were asking if I could make these products for sale and before long I decided it was worth pursing as a busi- ness,” she said. “Now, RAIN’S Pre-Accelerator has given me confidence in my brand and tools to help boost my busi- ness.” For Meant Manufacturing, the mentors in the Pre- Accelerator “have been invalu- able in providing relevant feed- back in a genuine fashion that feels like they truly care about each of our ventures.” Phillips says she can now visualize what various growth options may look like for the future. “I look forward to imple- menting so many take-aways from this Pre-Accelerator into my brand,” she said.
