Everyone loves to brag about what companies are headquartered in their town. But what about fully remote companies with no actual headquarters? What about them? Well, I say if Portland boasts a bulk of employees — like say Automattic or Zapier — or if some key execs — like ConvertKit — live here in town, then we can claim them as a Portland company.
So I’m happy to share that Portland company ConvertKit has taken an interesting step to help those creators impacted by the COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus.
Today we’re launching a $50,000 fund called The Creator Fund to support creators in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
COVID-19 has already had a wide impact beyond those directly impacted by illness. As the secondary consequences affect the economy for creators and small businesses, there isn’t a safety net for creators with nowhere else to turn when their business revenue is slowed or eliminated.
