SUMMARY:Hellgate Venture Network -  SAVE THE DATE: October 15th - Monthly Meet-Up
DESCRIPTION:September HVN Event RECAP\nLast month’s speaker\, Michael Gardner\, shared his family story that motivated him to start TruePenny as a means by which Montanans can actually own the businesses that operate and serve Montana. Michael also described the long and challenging journey he has been through just to establish the legal framework for TruePenny to exist. \nWe know that it is a significant challenge for many Montana businesses to access the capital they need to grow\, as they often fit somewhere between the growth requirements of angel and venture funding\, while lacking the collateral that a bank would need. TruePenny seeks to fill that gap and help Montanans invest in Montana’s businesses and economy. \nPaul Gladen said that while Michael’s talk “may not have been the best HVN pitch ever (it was still pretty darned good!)\, it might be the most important in terms of its potential impact on Montana’s entrepreneurial economy.” \n

SUMMARY:CoBuild Summit "Building the Builders: Creating Places Where Entrepreneurship Thrives" - 10/21 - Missoula
DESCRIPTION:A Montana founder has a promising idea and no idea who to call. Who picks up? \nThat’s the kind of question we’ll dig into at the CoBuild Summit in Missoula. I’m joining a panel called “Building the Builders: Creating Places Where Entrepreneurship Thrives” on October 21\, from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the UC Theater on the University of Montana campus. \nBehind every new venture are people and networks. They’re what turn an idea into something real. \nWe’ll talk about mentorship\, access to expertise and capital\, and the connections that help entrepreneurs take their next step. We’ll also look at where support falls short and what could close those gaps. \nThe panel brings together entrepreneurship\, community development\, university technology transfer\, and student-led investment. I’ll be on the technology transfer side\, alongside Erik Guzik\, PhD of UM and CoBuild Montana\, Eric Harry of Flathead Valley Community College\, and a few others. \nHit a gap building something in Montana? I’d like to hear about it before the 21st. \n\n\nHarmen Steele Ph.D. \n\n\n\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/share:7515238413655273472/ \n31 Startups. 4 Countries. 10 Finalists.

SUMMARY:A practical look at federal funding that doesn't cost you equity. - 10/28 - Missoula
DESCRIPTION:22 seats. 90 minutes. A practical look at federal funding that doesn’t cost you equity. University of Montana this is a great opportunity! \nOn Wednesday\, October 28\, the Montana Technology Innovation Partnership powered by MSU TechLink Center\, is hosting Navigating SBIR: From Idea to Impact at MonTEC in Missoula. \n📅 Wednesday\, October 28\n⏰ 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. workshop\n🥂 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. happy hour and networking\n📍 MonTEC\, 1121 E. Broadway Street\, Missoula \nThe federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs can provide significant non-dilutive funding to develop technology and move it toward commercialization. If you’re a researcher\, founder or part of a team moving an idea toward the market\, they’re worth understanding. \nThe workshop is interactive and in person\, and it sticks to the practical side: how to identify opportunities\, what federal agencies are looking for\, how proposals are evaluated\, what goes into a competitive application and why the right collaborators matter. There will also be examples of companies that have used SBIR/STTR funding\, connections to Montana resources and partners\, and plenty of time for questions. \nThen stick around. MTIP and MonTEC are hosting a happy hour with tech founders and what I’m told will be some very serious hors d’oeuvres. \nOne thing I keep appreciating about Montana’s innovation community is how many people are willing to help researchers and entrepreneurs figure out the next step. If you have an idea with commercial potential and aren’t sure how to fund it\, this is a good place to start. \nRegistration link is in the first comment. \nWith only 22 spots\, I’d sign up early.
