Nice work @pdxmitch x @turoczy doubling down on our roots as a state.

Applications for the @BuiltOregon consumer products accelerator are open until May 22, 2023. I, for one, am really looking forward to learning about a whole bunch of awesome Oregon consumer products in the next few weeks. /cc @pdxmitch @pdxbizmalia bizjournals.com/portland/inn…
Indeed, Yoda looks good in that hat 😊

#BHM Day 19 - @CharlieGilkey founder of Productive Flourishing. He helps people start finishing what matters most ans is the author of critically-acclaimed books like Start Finishing: How to Go from Idea to Done, The Small Business Lifecycle, and Team Habits.

For day 9 of #BHM, WOHM honors the sneakerhead who makes things happen for Black and brown businesses, @PDXStephenG.
The enigmatic vocal proponent of Black/POC business success left the world of banking to pursue his goal of supporting "underestimated" founders.

ALT *Stephen smiles big on the PitchBlack stage* A Detroit native who moved to the Portland area as a baby, Stephen has his busy hands in everything entrepreneurial. His company, PitchBlack (at which WOHM recently competed), helps to fund Black-owned startups by infusing cash into their businesses without taking any equity. A voice that matters, Stephen also serves on the Oregon Growth Board, mentors for Backstage Capital, and recently joined Business for a Better Portland to help the group search for a new executive director. His prior experience in banking and business development makes him especially dangerous in the startup world, and he uses that skill to identify and support Black and brown entrepreneurs.

#BHM Day 4 - Ian Williams, founder @DeadstockPDX in Old Town. Ian’s brand/vision has never wavered & resulted in Deadstock being one of the most recognizable PDX brands. But more importantly, it remains a community gathering space for conversations, connections, & smiles.

Comments on a PDX Startup Slack channel thread reminded me of this @Medium post @turoczy & I wrote 3 years ago.
It's hard to break the normal thinking around startup/founder life but I truly hope that we can reframe it in a human way going forwards.

Ditto @turoczy on this - well deserved indeed
Always nice to see my @BuiltOregon cofounder and fearless leader @pdxmitch getting some well deserved press coverage bizjournals.com/portland/inn… via @PDXBizMalia @PDXBizJournal
Well done, @BuiltOregon !

If you need me on #BlackFriday I will be on Instagram Live, hyping 13 Black founders from across Oregon and learning more about their dopeness. #SupportBlackBusiness @BuiltOregon #PDXwhileBlack
Ditto, well done @pdxmitch !
In the early days of @piepdx, there was a palpable feeling of community, albeit for a limited group of startup folks. The current version of @BuiltOregon has rekindled that same feeling. Only for a much broader and far more inclusive community of entrepreneurs. Thanks, @pdxmitch!

Here you go, more than 50 Black owned businesses from around Oregon that you can support. Thanks to @siliconflorist for the recap that you do. #BlackHistoryMonth may be over but you can keep the momentum moving through the year by supporting these businesses. #BHM @BuiltOregon
Worried you missed one of @PDXStephenG's or @BuiltOregon's tweets during Black History Month…? Don't worry. Here's a recap of all the folks that were featured throughout February 2022 #BHM siliconflorist.com/2022/03/0…
Well said @turoczy - thanks @PDXStephenG for all you do to support and help so many people, organizations and businesses
The "unofficial mayor" of Portland remains a venerable touchstone for both #pdx and beyond. His dedication to Black & Brown founders is only matched by his willingness to speak his truth. Truly cannot encapsulate everything I've learned—and continue to learn—from @PDXStephenG 🧡
