He's looking forward to answering your questions about startups, startup accelerators, and Portland, in general.</p> <p>A little background on our guest…</p> <p>Rick Turoczy has worked in, on, and around the Portland, Oregon, startup ecosystem for more than 25 years. Throughout that time, he's worked for venture funded startups, founded failed companies, consulted, mentored, and worked to connect dots within and outside the community.</p> <p>More than a dozen years ago, he started Silicon Florist, a blog designed to capture what he saw happening in the Portland startup community. That work led to the opportunity to start PIE, the Portland Incubator Experiment, an organization he continues to manage.</p> <p>At its very most basic, PIE is an ongoing experiment designed to explore ways that established organizations — like corporations, governments, and educational institutions — can effectively collaborate with startup communities in mutually beneficial ways, thereby strengthening the entire ecosystem.</p> <p>PIE currently exists as an early stage startup accelerator with three separate areas of focus: Software as a Service (in partnership with Puppet), manufactured products (in partnership with Autodesk), and traditional consumer products like food, beverage, and apparel (in partnership with Built Oregon).</p> <p>RSVP: <a href="https://www.crowdcast.io/e/portland-startup-community-ama-rick-turoczy-20200505">https://www.crowdcast.io/e/portland-startup-community-ama-rick-turoczy-20200505</a></p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://www.crowdcast.io/e/portland-startup-community-ama-rick-turoczy-20200505">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
