ZINO Green in Portland in February

The press release will be coming out this week with more details, but I am so pleased to share that this year ZINO Society will be producing not only a ZINO Green Seattle Investment Forum on March 4^th at the McKinstry Innovation Center in Seattle, but also a ZINO Green Portland Investment Forum on February 24^th at the Oregon Technology Business Center in Beaverton.  The format will be the same for both investment forums; afternoon sessions from 1:00-6:00 p.m. showcasing 12-15 clean tech, green, energy efficient or sustainable companies seeking angel investment capital followed by an awards and wine reception.  Our man on the ground in Portland taking the leadership role to produce ZINO Green Portland is well-known in both the Seattle and Portland angel and entrepreneurial communities, Chris Fenner.

We are in the process now of accepting applications from entrepreneurs to present at the ZINO Green Investment Forums.  Entrepreneurs selected through our screening process will present in both locations.  In our 4^th year now and as in the past, we will accept entrepreneur applications from the entire I-5 corridor between Portland and Vancouver, British Columbia and selectively beyond that as well.  To apply to present, interested entrepreneurs can click on this link.

We are also in the process of developing the rest of the program with keynote speakers, expert panelists and sponsors.  Though each ZINO Green will have similarities, most speakers, panelists and sponsors will be individual to the market.

We look forward to our first investment forum produced outside the Seattle market.
