LOOKING FOR DIVERSITY IN TECH? START WITH CHILDCARE
I’ve spent 6 of my 10 years as a designer working in tech and with startups. When I had my first child last year I was scared. Scared to go through childbirth itself but, honestly, much more frightened of the effect it would have on my career. Would I be hirable as a new mom? How do you balance motherhood and a career? How does childcare fit into all of this?

TALKOOT SIMPLIFIES CONTENT MANAGEMENT FOR PRODUCT COMPANIES
For as many consumer products as we produce around Portland—and throughout the state—its still rare for Portland’s tech startups and consumer brands to cross paths. It happens. Most notably with companies like Brandlive, embodee, Opal, and Orchestra. But not as often as you’d think.

TALKING STARTUPS WITH PORTLAND RADIO PROJECT
One of the things I love about Portland is that—in addition to all of the amazing startups—there are startups who work to help other startups. Sometimes they’re providing training. Sometimes they’re accelerators. And sometimes they’re content creators. Like the Portland Radio Project.
