WANT TO INVEST IN A PORTLAND STARTUP? HERE'S YOUR CHANCE
Now, you likely know I’m not the biggest fan of pitch competitions. But every once in a while, an opportunity comes along for a Portland startup founder that involves a pitch competition. And it just makes sense. Like AllGo getting the opportunity to pitch at Lesbians Who Tech. There’s only one problem: It’s in New York. And that’s across the country.

A LITTLE HELP FOR A PORTLAND STARTUP FAMILY?
You probably haven’t met Kat and Asa Miller. They’re very private folks. So it wouldn’t surprise me if their names don’t ring any bells. I was lucky enough to meet Asa early in the days of mobile in Portland. Back when PIE was still a coworking space and community event space. He was unassuming. And ridiculously talented. Like many Portland folks.

INTERESTED IN CHANGING THE FOCUS OF AMERICAN CORPORATIONS?
