Why is Portland a good town for startups?

Rick Turoczy on March 2, 2011

You know me. I’ll rarely pass up a chance to champion Portland as the perfect place to start your startup. And if you read the blog, you know I’ll rarely pass up the opportunity to feature Portland startup darling Urban Airship, either. Throw in a Pete Grillo mention and I simply have to post.

But I was worried I was getting caught up in my fanboi-ness. So I let it sit for a week. Guess what? I still think it’s good stuff. So I’m running it. Here’s Scott Kveton, CEO of Urban Airship, on Portland, his company, and being an entrepreneur via Startup Weekly.

    This is a favorite interview of mine. I love the startup community in Portland, and Scott Kveton is one of many who makes Portland an amazing place to be.

    The dream of the Twenty-20’s is alive in Portland. I, too, want to make that a reality.
