Portland Start-up Index for August 2008: Metafilter, Digital Trends premiere in top 10

Rick Turoczy on August 18, 2008

It’s that time again. Time for the Techvibes Portland Start-up Index, the monthly round up of Portland-area startup companies and products, ranked by the average of their Alexa and Compete rankings.

Admittedly a work-in-progress, the Portland Start-up Index often premieres “new” entries that have been—in actuality—heavy hitters for far longer than some of the “old” companies and products on the list.

This month’s list is a perfect example of that dynamic in action, as MetaFilter (July 1999) and Digital Trends (2001) premiere in the top 10 at #2 and #5 respectively.

So how did the rest of the startup scene fare this month?

    Hey, Rick, I suggested they add Pulse Health to the list as well. You might want to get them on your radar, it’s where Chris Marsh landed.

    They’re a little different, as they’re initially going to be selling through the MLM channel, but you’ll want to get them on your radar for sure.

    Where does MSix fit into this list? Or do they? They
    did win Angel Oregon.

    As the index includes more and more local companies and side projects, I think it is getting more and more accurate.
