THE ORIGINAL INTERNET ASTRONAUT RETURNS HOME TO LAUNCH INTO HIS NEXT ADVENTURE

Back a dozen years or so, before I started this blog, I happened upon COLOURlovers, a Portland founded startup that was unlike anything I had seen to date. It wasn’t a business to business site. It wasn’t software. It was consumer focused. And social.

SIX NEW STARTUPS JOIN LEAP VENTURE STUDIO

It’s always a joy to see new startup accelerator programs starting in the Portland startup community. One might say that, with this one, my tail is wagging. My tail… Ahem. *tap tap tap* Is this thing on?

TAKE TIME TO TALK TO A TRIO OF TECHSTARS TYPES, HERE IN TOWN

While our only local connection to Techstars programs was a brief stint as the home of the first powered by Techstars accelerator, Portland startups have long had great collaborations with Techstars programs all over the place. With Portland folks heading off to Techstars programs in Seattle, San Antonio, New York, Chicago… the list goes on an on. Now, you’ll have the chance to meet with three different program leads to get all of your Techstars related questions answered—but without leaving town.
