GLOBAL TECHFESTNW PITCHFESTNW 2020 WINNER IS A LOCAL STARTUP

Another TechfestNW is in the books. And with it, PitchfestNW, which has become a quintessential — and international — part of this annual event, albeit virtual this time around. Once the digital dust settled, one company stood apart from the others and it happened to be a local company: HILOS.

BUY JOB POSTS BEFORE PRICES GO BACK UP IN 2021

At the onset of the pandemic, Silicon Florist slashed job board pricing in half to help ensure that companies that had jobs to post had less of a barrier to do so. In 2021, however, the plan is to return those prices to their previous levels.

PERPLEXED BY PRESS RELEASES?

I’ve lost count of how many press releases I’ve written over the last 25 years or so. It’s become such a common occurrence for me — either for my projects or for helping PIE companies — that I sometimes forget that composing them is still a dark mystic art for most folks. But then, inevitably, I get an ill-formed attempt at a press release from a startup and that fact is brought into sharp relief — at the startup’s expense.
