Tantalizing hints from Voyager Capital’s Portland office – Silicon Forest – The Oregonian – OregonLive.com
Mike Rogoway is on a roll. Another great post and the promise of more information in tomorrow’s dead-tree edition of The Oregonian. Mike writes “Among the forces that attracted Voyager to Oregon, they said, is that startups and entrepreneurs are increasingly moving to Portland from the East Coast, Silicon Valley and elsewhere. The migrants are attracted by the city’s base of high-tech talent, its low cost of doing business (at least relative to Seattle and the Bay Area), and by our months and months of clouds and rain. (What they said, actually, was ‘quality of life.’)”
