# Portland at TechCrunch40: Not according to the leaked list

With high hopes, I had posted earlier this weekend, asking if [anyone had a line](http://siliconflorist.com/2007/09/15/techcrunch40-portland-presentations/ "Portland presentations at the TechCrunch40?") on any Portland companies that might be participating in the much-anticipated [TechCrunch40](http://techcrunch40.com "TechCrunch40").

Well, a blog post surfaced this evening, claiming to be the actual list of TechCrunch40 presenters. And after a bit of due diligence, I am completely saddened and a bit dismayed to report that I can’t find a single Portland company on that list.

(And no, I’m not going to post or link to the rumored list, as I can neither confirm nor deny that it is truly the list. In fact, this is the [only company on the list I can even remotely confirm](http://flickr.com/photos/ouriel/1394360649/ "Photo of TechCrunch40 sign with obscured company name"). Maybe the leaked list is a fake and in reality there are *only* Portland companies on the real list. Then how would I feel?)

Why am I telling you this? Because I know you have better things to do than sitting around, hitting refresh on the Silicon Florist site, waiting to see the Portland companies that made the list.

I mean, you were planning on doing that, right?

That’s what I thought.

There still may be Portland companies exhibiting down there. And, who knows? A Portland company may wind up being the crowd favorite that gets the [\#40](https://siliconflorist.com/tag/40/) slot. And if that’s the case, when I know, you’ll know.

But I wouldn’t hold your breath.
