# A wish for the Portland startup community

> What I wish for in Portland startups:
> 1\. A belief that making $ as a business is a good thing and that business can be a force for good
> 2\. More founders
> 3\. More big ideas for solving big societal problems
> 4\. More funding flowing to founders, esp from big co execs
> 5\. Big exits
>
