The Jan. 28 issue of the OregonStartups.com newsletter is out a bit late because I headed to Kasas City, MO on Sunday. Starting at noon today (Kansas City time) I’ll spend 2 and a half days becoming a certified trainer for three of the Kaufman Foundation’s FastTrak entrepreneur training courses.
My main interest is in FastTrak TechVenture — a 10-class (3 hours per class) course for high tech and biotech entrepreneurs that covers all the basics from market validation to operations, business planning, financial projections, fund raising, and product launch. In addition to printed course materials, they have some useful sounding web resources (stock dilution spreadsheets, financial projection spreadsheets, etc.)
With a little luck, we’ll start offering FastTrac training at OTBC in March or April. Stay tuned for more info!
