# Portland startups you heard on Twitter Spaces

Last night, a few brave startup souls — both speakers and attendees alike — gathered for a pitch event on Twitter Spaces, the audio only Clubhouse competitor. It was designed to be a beta test of a potential ongoing event format. And like any good beta test, I received a ton of feedback from folks.

> Startups who had the courage to present today — and put up with my amateurish hosting — were [@rainmanjam](https://twitter.com/RainmanJam?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [@hilaryshirk](https://twitter.com/hilaryshirk?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [@jwce21](https://twitter.com/jwce21?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [@karthychandra](https://twitter.com/karthychandra?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [@seanmulvihill](https://twitter.com/seanmulvihill?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)

Given the ephemeral nature of Twitter Spaces, I wanted to be sure that the startups that participated didn’t get lost in the ether. Here’s who spoke, in the order that they pitched.

- [Jonathan Evans, Kinect Air](https://twitter.com/jwce21)
- [Karthy Chandra, Goalden Hour](https://twitter.com/karthychandra)
- [Sean Mulvihill, Storiphi](https://twitter.com/seanmulvihill)

We’ll likely be doing this again. If you’re interested in participating, please feel free to [submit your information](https://airtable.com/shrbhvH34pzlSPArH). If you’re simply interested in staying in the loop, [please join the Meetup group](https://www.meetup.com/PIE-Portland-startup-community/events/277018582/).

And if you have any other ideas on how we as a community could be using Twitter Spaces or if you’re hosting Twitter Spaces or Clubhouse events that we can attend, I’m all ears. Ahem. [Feel free to ping me on Twitter](https://twitter.com/turoczy).
