A wish for the Portland startup community

Rick Turoczy on May 5, 2021

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

How do you get the most out of Clubhouse?

Rick Turoczy on February 19, 2021

Maybe you have an invite. Maybe you don’t. Maybe you’re psyched on Clubhouse. Maybe you’re not. But whatever the case, it’s always nice to know more about new social platforms, right? Right. That’s why I was glad to see ConvertKit COO and Portland startup community contributor Barrett Brooks documenting his experiences with Clubhouse.

Working from home not working? Get guidance from these remote work veterans

Rick Turoczy on April 22, 2020

It may have seemed exciting at first. Perhaps even fun. But with every mounting day, it’s becoming less and less so. And more and more stressful. You thought you’d be more productive. You didn’t realize you’d have so much to juggle. And you didn’t foresee the feelings of isolation and disconnectedness. Working from home is hard.

ConvertKit The Creator Fund launches to help creators impacted by COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus

Rick Turoczy on March 12, 2020

Everyone loves to brag about what companies are headquartered in their town. But what about fully remote companies with no actual headquarters? What about them? Well, I say if Portland boasts a bulk of employees — like say Automattic or Zapier — or if some key execs — like ConvertKit — live here in town, then we can claim them as a Portland company.
