# Portland Seed Fund III: This time, it's digital

[Portland Seed Fund](http://portlandseedfund.com "Portland Seed Fund"), the local startup accelerator funded by a combination of private and public funds, has announced their next class of startups, a group of eight companies seeking to take their startups to the next level.

It’s a great crop of interesting companies. But what was most interesting to me was that PSF has broken from its previous two classes—each of which featured a company with a physical product, [Homeschool](http://www.homeschoolsnowboarding.com/ "Homeschool Snowboarding") and [Indow Windows](http://www.indowwindows.com/ "Indow Windows")—to choose a class that was entirely tech based.

So who made the cut?

**Brandlive** is visually engaging product communication for social commerce and remote collaboration. @yourbrandlive

**bubL** is a location-based social platform introducing mobile users to relevant people, advertising, commerce, and information nearby within their personal “bubble.” @whosinyourbubl

**CoCollage** is a platform for social engagement combining social media and digital signage. @cocollage

**InGrid Solutions** streamlines the day-to-day business processes of construction trade contractors, allowing them to digitize records, report on business performance, and improve customer service through cloud software. @ingridsolutions

**Mobilitus** brings content and commerce to mobile devices through its innovative mHANCED products. @mobilitus

**Tellagence** identifies a brand’s optimum network for creating relationships and sharing content through predictive analytics. @tellagence

**Vadio** evolves audio into an engaging, real-time video experience distributed via radio stations. @wearevadio

**Wikisway** is a platform for exploring and articulating connections between people, places and things in new ways @wikisway

That’s where they are today. There’s no telling where they will be three months from now, when they emerge from the program.
