Portland per capita has more College degrees, has more reciently arrived young educated people, has more smart engineers, has more computers, has more bandwidth, spends more time outdoors, has a smaller eco foot print, buys more books, drinks more beer, sees more strippers, sips more wine, and eats more great restaurant food.This should be the fuel to make great and large companies. Yet we get less venture capital, have fewer public companies, and build fewer successful companies. I will document these facts and suggest some simple ideas on how we can step up and bask in the success we deserve.

  • Absolutely hilarious....and so true. Portland is great, always has been (I've lived here since 1959), but Portland is always the bridesmaid and never the bride. Newcomers are changing this, but it will take time to make this part of the Portland DNA.

    How to make this a permanent, ongoing--and successful--community conversation?

  • This was a great presentation, I wish he had more time to talk. For the record, I'm not afraid to merge!
