STOP TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT PORTLAND

We’ve kind of gotten used to it. You know, the hype about Portland. I mean, it seems like every day there’s another piece extolling the virtues of the Rose City and all of its magicalness. Celebrating the craft and weird and beard and whatnot. But there’s a darker side to this sort of promotion. Take a moment to consider the carefully constructed counterpoint.

GROUNDHOG DAY SEEMED AN APPROPRIATE THEME

When Oregon native Andrew Hyde and I originally started chatting about Portland having its very own Startup Week—the concept that he, the Startup Weekend creator, had dreamed up to help towns celebrate their startup scenes—I was already toying with a few ideas. When he suggested that the launch date should be Groundhog Day, it was settled.

MOVING BEYOND TYPICAL TECH TALKS

It’s getting close now. Just a few days and we’ll soon be basking in Portland Startup Week, more than a week of interesting events focused on startups and entrepreneurs. But it’s designed to be a week for anyone and everyone. That’s why you’ll notice some of the programming and participants stepping beyond typical tech homogeneity.
