Last night, I had the opportunity to sit down with three amazing startup founders to talk about the companies that they’re building — and how AI is playing a role in their lives. Best of all — thanks to the awesome folks at Rose City Techies — we got to have this conversation in front of a bunch of other folks.
Near the end of the event, I asked each of the founders what we could be doing to be helpful. And they each highlighted that trying out their product would be the most beneficial. Which provided a perfect excuse for me to write up the products and point you in the right direction.
Please consider trying one, two, or all of the Portland startup products below.
