Hitting a little close to home: HBO's Silicon Valley has a tinge of Portlandia as local startup types advise Pied Piper

Rick Turoczy on June 3, 2015

If you’re in the startup scene, you’ve probably happened across the HBO series Silicon Valley, a Mike Judge vehicle that does a great job of capturing the inanity of the startup world. For many of us, it’s a cringe inducing slice of life that is sometimes more torture than entertainment. But Series 2 episode 4 may be a little more bearable—because Portlanders contributed to it.

Portland startup types Jenna Hildebrand and Davy Stevenson served as technical advisors.

    It’s all Davy and Jenna. I wish I were as funny as they are. All I did was tweet the screenshot… no technical advising on my end.
