MISSING BLACK HISTORY MONTH TWEETS ABOUT PORTLAND FOUNDERS?

I’ve really grown quite fond of this tradition that Stephen Green started. Where once a day, throughout the month of February, Stephen has taken the opportunity to highlight one black Portland business for Black History Month. And this year, it got even better. Because Built Oregon joined in. And because we got an extra day.

BUILDING A CONSUMER PRODUCT STARTUP? BUILT ACCELERATOR WANTS TO HELP

Being a founder is hard. Really hard. And lonely. And nowhere have I seen that more evident than consumer product startups. With tech startups, at least we’re online most of the day. On email. Or Slack. Or Twitter. It doesn’t make being a founder any less difficult. But at least you feel connected.

Events
-------------------------------------------------------

If you have time for any events next week, I'd suggest the following:

PSA: Clearly, it's a weird time. SXSW, Google I/O, f8, SaaStr, GDC, MWC, and any number of events have canceled or postponed due to concerns about COVID-19 Coronavirus. Take care of yourself, stay healthy, and we'll resume suggesting events when this passes.
