Startup Workouts- Keeping your ego out of the product July 7, 2009

Startup Workouts is a new open-enrollment series of 75-minute “workouts” where founders develop and strengthen founder “muscles”— the fundamental business skills and problem-solving abilities they need in order to manage their ventures well and keep their projects above water.

Workouts are led by Portland Ten staff, who actively work with a team of tech founders working toward the $1MM in revenue goal and deal with these types of startup situations on a regular basis.

Startup Workouts are held in downtown Portland at NedSpace on Tuesday mornings from 10-11:15 am and Thursday afternoons from 4-5:15 pm, and are $18 for 1 workout, $75 for 5 ($15 each), or $130 for 10 ($13 each).
