REMINDER: Coffee with Paige Hendrix Buckner and other cofounders
There’s nothing quite like peer support. That’s why I’m always a fan of events and programs that get peers together. Not even necessarily to talk shop. Just to let them know that they’re not alone. And if you’re the cofounder of a company, one of those events is happening tomorrow: Coffee with Co-Founders.
REMINDER: Coffee w/ Co-Founders at WeWork Labs Portland

Craving caffeine coupled with compatriots? It’s time for another Coffee with Co-Founders
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times. Communities are not built on evening events, alone.

That’s one of the reasons I’m rebooting Portland Lunch 2.0. And that’s why I’m glad that we have event organizers like Josh Carter who organizes Coffee w/ Co-Founders, a caffeine fueled morning happy hour for founders. This is a guest post from Josh.]
Coffee, cofounders, cold brew, and PIE
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times: It’s lonely being a founder—or even the cofounder—of a startup. That’s why I’m always happy to see events and programs that bring founders together. So just imagine how psyched I am when a founder focused event collaborates with a founder focused program. Founder founder founder. Well, and coffee.
