# Looking for that early stage investment? OTBC offers 11 steps for getting investor ready

Yes, I know. 11 steps. Yes, most of these things are supposed to be 12 step programs, but this one—[11 Steps for Getting Investor Ready](http://www.otbc.org/node/701 "11 Steps for Getting Investor Ready")—goes to 11. Besides, we’re looking to feed your addiction to startups. Not curtail it. Oh wait. I think step 12 may be “Profit!”

In any case, our friends over at [OTBC](http://www.otbc.org/ "OTBC") in Beaverton are offering to coach entrepreneurs on pitching their ideas and companies to would be investors. All it takes is an hour, beginning at 4:30 PM on November 16.

So what’s that hour going to land you?

> You’ll walk away with 11 practical, actionable steps to getting investor ready. And you’ll get a lot more than we can cover in an hour. Attendees will also receive free access to an online e-book that provides very pragmatic, step-by-step information on every step in the process.

> If you’re planning to raise investor money in the coming year, or you’re raising money right now, or your preparing for Angel Oregon or Venture Northwest – come to this event, and find out what it takes to get investor ready.

Also important to note, [OTBC has a new home](http://www.otbc.org/directions "Directions to OTBC"). With [more coworking space](http://www.otbc.org/node/576 "Co-working at OTBC"), as well. It’s now at [8305 SW Creekside Place, Suite C, in Beaverton](http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=8305+SW+Creekside+Place,+Suite+C,+in+Beaverton&sll=45.460047,-122.767767&sspn=0.008458,0.01914&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=8305+SW+Creekside+Pl,+Beaverton,+Washington,+Oregon+97008&z=16 "OTBC"). So whereas it used to be just off the MAX line, it’s now just off the WES line.

Tickets are $19. To attend or for more information, visit [11 Steps for Getting Investor Ready](http://www.otbc.org/node/701 "11 Steps for Getting Investor Ready").
