PIE Demo Day 2019: (Re)Watch all of the pitches

Design, ecosystems, and startups: Mark your calendars because March and April are going to be busy
Like the return of spring, it’s always nice to see the return of activity to the Portland startup community.

Come see some Demolicious Portland projects, this Wednesday at Backspace
A few weeks back, I put out a call for Portland startups and projects to get up on stage at the first Demolicious of 2011. And as luck would have it, there were a ton of awesome responses. Trouble is, we only had five spots available. And picking which five was tough.

Don’t just demo, Portland. Demolicious. (Your favorite tech demo night is back.)
If you’ve been around Portland for a while, you might recall Demolicious, a quarterly series of events hosted by Portland Web Innovators that allowed Portland startups and developers demo interesting projects on which they had been working.
