ELEMENTAL ACQUIRED BY AMAZON, REPORTEDLY FOR AROUND $500 MILLION IN CASH

As long as I’ve been banging on a keyboard about this whole Portland startup scene thing, there’s been one company that has been referenced in any Portland startup conversation: Elemental. And now, it’s a startup no longer. Elemental Technologies is being acquired by Amazon Web Services.
