You know me. I’m a sucker for a good video. Mostly because it means I don’t have to write a lot of copy. Err… I mean, you’ve seen me go all giddy over those Techtown Portland videos.

Grab a cup of coffee and take a few minutes to enjoy Startup Cities: Portland, Oregon. Read More
Okay. Okay. We get it. Portlanders like to freak out about the weather. Especially winter weather. But this one was a bit of a doozy. And as usual, it became a messy mix of snow and ice rather quickly. Portland does that whole messy weather thing exceptionally well. The snow. The freezing rain. Read More

Portland-based Cloudability has recently received local recognition for their company and their cofounder and CEO Mat Ellis. Now, they’re getting a little national attention. The Wharton School just named them one of the 15 best young companies for which to work. Read More
There are a growing number of TechStars alums in town—Cloudability, Glider, Factor, the companies from the Nike+ Accelerator—but the first Portland company to really make the leap into a TechStars program was Vizify, who managed to juggle both TechStars and the Portland Seed Fund simultaneously.
