# Jive talkin’: Tony Zingale, CEO of Jive Software, sits down with CNBC

I’ll be honest. I can’t have a conversation about startups in Portland without a mention of [Jive Software](http://jivesoftware.com "Jive Software"). And come down where you will on the religious argument of the location of their headquarters (I could give you my opinion, but that’s another post for another time), they’re still a very big player here in the Portland scene. In fact, any number of people helping lead the startup scene around here have been through Jive—and there’s still a huge pool of talent sitting there on a day-to-day basis.
