TIME TO COZY UP FOR SOME GOOD FOUNDER STORIES
More often than not, startup stories fail to be tales of overnight success. Quite the contrary. Founders have any number of trials and tribulations, tests, and failures. So founders recounting their journeys are often tales of perseverance and survival. But those stories need to be shared. That’s why Portland startup Cozy is providing a stage for that to happen. With Conversations at Cozy.

YOU JUST RETIRED FROM OEN. WHAT’S NEXT?
People always say that once you’ve caught the startup bug, it’s hard to shake it. And I can’t think of any better example than Linda Weston. After 17 years of heading up the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network, she decided to “retire.†But as any founder knows, “retire†is just a euphemism for “take time to see if any of my side projects have legs.†And Linda is no different.

TWO SLICES OF PIE
It’s that time of year. In fact, it happens around this time, every year. As we ring in new year, we’re always drawn to look back at what we accomplished in the previous year and what we hope to accomplish in the forthcoming year. And that’s why PIE—the ongoing experiment between Wieden+Kennedy and the Portland startup community—is doing the whole “what we did in 2016″ vs “what we’re hoping to do in 2017″ thing.
