Portland, Oregon, startup news, open source, and tech news, jobs, and events #pdx
In today’s links, questioning if startup accelerators and innovation districts really work, announcing the winner of the Foot Locker and PENSOLE design challenge, IOTAS impresses Oregon BEST, Eugene RAIN, and new directions for Free Geek. Read More
Starting off the week with a recap of XOXO, a continuation of the conversation around Portland investors, Seattle VC Bill Bryant, Workfrom releases a mobile client, Automattic’s successful distributed team, and the economics of venture capital. Read More
Plenty of links for a short week. Here’s what I found today that I liked and thought you might, too. It includes stories on Uncorked Studios, NoAppFee, Stumptown Speakers Series, another Silicon Florist happy hour, and a profanity laden tongue in cheek piece on Apple’s recent iPhone announcement. Have a good weekend! Read More
Probably not the happiest of link roundups, but at least one that’s full of concern and critique. From Oregon Measure 97 to hating the enforced “fake it ’til you make it” of the startup world—or maybe just the fakeness in general–to what it’s actually like to be a female engineer to layoffs, there’s a lot worth reading here. And I hope it helps. Read More
Hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend. And welcoming back the rain. Here’s a roundup of links that includes Iovation makes an acquisition, Cedexis’ new digs, Jaguar Land Rover Incubator in TechCrunch, Notion and Watsi, Biamp manufactures locally, Pipeline Angels returns to Portland, and Mark Suster on what it’s like to negotiate a venture round.

Today’s links include those folks recognized for the 2016 OEN awards, Scooby-Doo, Scott Townsend of Opal Labs, drones, even more drones (that you can try), and books for entrepreneurs—even if they can’t afford them. Read More
Today’s link arrangement includes information on Oregon BEST FEST, Deadstock Coffee, Billy, former Trail Blazer Brian Grant, Nations as startups, and SpaceX & Facebook. Read More
Another random assortment of freshly picked links that struck my fancy. Some of them newsworthy. Some of them thought worthy. All of them, hopefully, worth your time. Today includes the Portland’s love of the Thorns, less and less code, more and more ADX, QuackCon, PIE and Built Oregon Community Hour[s], In-Q-Tel, and the Dropbox hack. Read More
Here’s another collection of (what I found to be) interesting links. Among them, Skyward, PolySync, the cofounder myth, the next great platform, Chirpify, Nike, SETI, Grimm, and more than a Eugene teen wanted in a senior photo. Read More
[Editor’s note: Back in the day—you know, when people used to actually blog—I would try to throw together link roundups to help share some of the stuff that other folks had written. Or maybe that I found super interesting but didn’t seem to fall within the “Portland tech startup” beat. I’m bringing this back for a limited time. Partially for old time’s sake. And partially because it seems needed.] Read More
