Portland news about startups. Reading is hard. Fundamental. But hard. Even if it's interesting stuff about the Portland startup community. So what if I took the opportunity to read you all of the headlines and gave you a brief overview of what's happening in the community, week to week…? Giving this a test drive. It might work. It might not. It might put you to sleep. Whatever the case, please let me know what you think. https://siliconflorist.com/ PORTLAND NEWS STARTUP HEADLINES Trying a new experiment for the Portland startup community VertueLab denied funding https://siliconflorist.com/2023/10/04...
