Portland, Oregon, startup news, open source, and tech news, jobs, and events #pdx
We’ve been lucky to have a few Portland memes go big. Usually around snow. Like Perfect Conditions. Or the cars sliding down icy hills. But one Portland meme tops them all. Zombie Kid. You know, the one who likes turtles. And that meme just turned 10 years old.
You know me, I’m always a fan of people who stop talking about doing something and actually start doing something. Even if other folks have tried to do that something before. So when a group of folks approached me with the idea of creating an online resource for startups in our community, what did I say?
While Oregon still has a ways to go in terms of building a self sustaining startup ecosystem, any number of folks have been doing an impressive job of building up our early stage funding resources throughout the state. And one of those groups of early stage investors, Cascade Angels, is looking for some more companies in which to invest.
