# Why did you sign up for Portland Startups Slack?

A few years back, I launched the [Portland Startups Slack](https://pdxslack.com/) with the hopes of providing another venue for folks in the community to connect and support one another. As traffic tends to ebb and flow, I thought it might be a good time to [survey folks as to whether it was still meeting their needs and expectations](https://pdxstartups.slack.com/archives/C0AL5389X/p1617205807101700).

Of course, that technique only works to engage folks who are actively on the platform. And I can guarantee that the 5800+ users on that instance aren’t all active. So I’m reaching out to you here, as well.

If you’ve ever been on the Portland Startup Slack or you’d like to take a chance to try it, [I’d love to hear what your expectations and goals are](https://pdxstartups.slack.com/archives/C0AL5389X/p1617205807101700).
