GIVEN THE TROPE AROUND IPOS IN PORTLAND

If you’ve been part of the startup community for any amount of time, you’ve likely heard it. It comes up regularly. That bemoaning the dearth of initial public offerings (IPO) by local companies. And using that as a means of assessing the viability of startup activity in the Portland area—and potentially Oregon—as a whole.

FOR A SHORT SESSION, THIS WENT A LONG WAY

For those of you just tuning in, it’s a short session in the Oregon legislature, this year. Without getting into the particulars, suffice it to say that it’s traditionally very difficult to move legislation during these sessions because of the limited amount of time. So it leave to entrepreneurs to say “Really? We like those odds.” Which is what’s happening with Oregon House Bill 4033.
