Reigniting Startups

Nine out of 10 startups fail. Don't be one of them! Dave Hersh and Portland Seed Fund invite you to Kiln (1120 SE Madison) for a special session on the hidden patterns that lead to startup failure and how to avoid or recover from them. Free books, fireside chat, stories of success and failure, and plenty of food, drinks and networking. Learn how to optimize your company's trajectory (and your happiness). Dave is the author of Reignition (Inc. Originals Press, April 2024), a playbook for transforming stuck startups into breakout winners. He is a general partner at Metamorph Partners, was the founding CEO of Portland-based Jive (NASDAQ IPO in 2011), served as a board partner at Andreessen Horowitz, and has advised hundreds of startups over three decades. Jive Software is an important part of Portland startup history, one of the few local tech companies that went public in the past 15 years.
