It always nice to see local founders getting an exit. But seeing one Portland startup acquire another Portland startup is a rarity. So that’s why it was really interesting to see that Brian Forrester’s latest pursuit has ended in a successful exit, as well â to another Portland startup. Beginly has acquired ProviderJobs.
ProviderJobs’ founder Brian Forrester is an industry veteran, with multiple exits in the recruitment technology vertical. “As I got to know the team at Beginly, it became clear that we shared the same thesis and our technologies were complementary. Several large companies expressed M&A interest, but Beginly stood out as the best match,” said Forrester, who is joining Beginly as Chief Product Officer.
This comes on the steps of Brian’s previous company, Lumina, being acquired by CareerArc around a 18 months ago.
