It’s been a day. And it’s not even over yet. Fun fact: Tomorrow will be a day as well.

Um. Portland might want to woo this Seattle startup so that their name makes more sense. Win win. www.geekwire.com/2025/bridget...

Everything that Built the Creator Economy Wants to Kill It. A new report about the creator economy's future focuses on discovery. But apps aren't interested in supporting creator success off-platform; if discovery falls, along with ad revenue, what does its future really look like? [link below]

😅

And then we lost power. As expected.

Newsflash: It is raining #pdxtst

Just compared notes with a random passerby on the perfect comfort and weight of the Rev Nat’s hoodie. Well done @natwestinportland.bsky.social

I made something for you. (And I need your input on next week.) https://youtu.be/vjsvcKlMFFo

Meeting marathon complete. Now… on to recording this week’s show.

No paywall. Please enjoy 🧡 https://www.bizjournals.com/portland/inno/stories/news/2025/02/20/pitch-black-where-are-they-now.html

Adding “Urban Doom Loop” to my list of potential band names. Right after "Rottweiler Stigmata." www.bizjournals.com/portland/new...

Keep it together, calendar. We can do this.

Thanks, LinkedIn. You shouldn't have. No. I mean really.

If focusing on the Portland startup community were my actual job, I would be at least halfway decent at my job. Not excellent mind you. But probably okay-ish. Or something. And stuff.

Scheming on community is always the best scheming

Three pitch tips I give every single PIE startup (and one freeze frame that was perfect for a ridiculous thumbnail) https://youtu.be/NhDFfQ0dbt0

Hoping you have a good week. Hang in there.

If you were excited for “Snow day,” then you’re going to love “Nonstop rain week.” Oh wait.

Still waiting for that call to talk about a sponsorship techcrunch.com/2025/02/13/t...

Sometimes I talk about VCs. Sometimes I talk about products. But the episodes I really love focus on STARTUP FOUNDERS 🫶 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUSCGg6sd_k

Will the power hold up until I can record my weekly news recap or will I be forced to get creative…? Tune in and see 😂 https://youtube.com/@turoczy_

Is it snowing in Portland…? #pdxtst

Light snow falling in Woodstock #pdxtst

What’s the thing you love? Think about it for a second. Keep that thought close as you explore this year’s Reasons to Love Portland, a list of 25 ways people of this city are unabashedly fulfilling their fantasies. www.wweek.com/culture/2025...

Time to head home kids. Street lights are on. Or more accurately… Park Blocks lights.

TIL Zipcar is still a thing

If Meetup is to be believed, there are a whole lot of folks looking to give away a MacBook Air 2023

I hope Smarsh isn't on wordpress.com 😂😂😂 www.bizjournals.com/portland/new...

Apparently when ears get cold, my AirPods fall out

Such great conversations last night. Looking forward to more, next month! www.meetup.com/pie-portland...

And just like that… another event in the books. Already looking forward to March. (Dropping tomorrow.) https://www.meetup.com/pie-portland-startup-community

Livestream starting soon https://www.youtube.com/live/mOS9vfvPblc?si=bEPhCQdzADRFYtFK

Getting snow in SE Portland. #pdxtst
