Demolicious, a monthly pitch event for early-stage startups, is thrilled to announce the first end-of-the-year Champion of Champions pitch event. Held where it all started at the famed McMenamins Mission Theater, 11 past monthly Demolicious winners will compete to become 2024 Demolicious Champion and take home the coveted championship belt!

This event is free and open to the public, but sign up asap because we expect it to be a complete sell out. A waitlist will be created once RSVPs become full.

How Demolicious works:

Team will have 5 minutes to pitch. The audience will vote. Results of the vote will be awarded the championship belt. Pretty simple right!?! Can't wait to see you there.

Come practice Pair Programming and Test-Driven Development with us. Pair Programming is an Agile methodology in which two developers share a single workstation and work together to solve some problem. Test-Driven Development is a development process that relies on the repetition of a short development cycle driven by writing tests before any implementation code. Red, Green, Refactor.

Collective Agency staff are trying an experiment: additional to everything else we have, we’ll be staffed on the Third Saturday of the month, 9am-5pm (this coming Saturday January 18th, and next month February 15th).

The reason why is for Collective Agency to be open for tours (and work here for a day) for people who wouldn’t be available during the week and would like to try membership.

Come play MapAttack, a real-time urban geofencing game for iPhone and Android! Bring your device (iPhones running iOS 7 and new-ish Android devices). Teams will start at Backspace and collect points around the city blocks of Portland. Teams that get the most points win! Built on the Esri Geotrigger Service.

After much work, the game is working very well and is very fun to play. We'll have PacMan ponchos if it's raining out, but you should bring running shoes or warm clothes if you feel you need them. Come with phones pre-charged!

Meet at Backspace around 12:30pm! Game will start shortly after! We'll have multiple games, so don't worry if you can't make it at the exact time.

What to expect: Games will last from 20-30 minutes and can be played on bike, by foot, or even by public transit.

Join us for our monthly community gathering of founders at the UpStart Collective to connect, learn, network, and enjoy the incredible views from our westside balconies. UpStart Collective's First Friday is a monthly gathering of the founder community to better connect with other founders at the space over drinks and food.

This month we will be featuring UpStart Collective founder, Mirco Fiaschi who is a serial founder working to bring fresh local sustainable foods to the workplace through a low friction vending machine with technology meant to make it easy for patrons to buy the foods they want.

When you arrive at the UpStart Collective building at 107 SE Washington St, enter on the Stark St. side and enter #2505 at the keypad at the outside door. Once inside you can take the elevator up to the 7th floor.

It's that time again! First Friday is an open community event for those founders and ecosystem supporters who would like to raise a glass to getting through another challenging month. Come celebrate with your fellow founder community. Drinks will be provided.

It's also a couple of blocks from the Portland Night Market so feel free to swing by to pre-game before walking over to celebrate and support our CPG/Food/Bev founders!

Every month, UpStart Collective invites the community to join us for some drinks and networking with the founders of the space. Each month we feature a founder working on something incredible who are part of the UpStart Collective family. You will have the opportunity to learn more about what they are working on and ways you can be helpful. Come to hang out, have a drink, and enjoy the view from one of UpStart Collective's 7 balconies.

Doors open at 5pm.

It's that time again! Time to raise a glass and celebrate the startup ecosystem and meet incredible founders. UpStart Collective is hosting First Friday, presented by Colliers at the eastside location. The event is free and open to the public. Drinks and light food will be provided.

First Friday started as a way for UpStart Collective members to come together over happy hour to toast making it through another month as a founder. Over the months, we began opening it up to the broader community and have since made it a regular occurrence to focus on founders, the journey, and celebrate those that make Portland's startup ecosystem so incredible.

This month we are celebrating the close of Black History Month (since we didn't do a Feb First Friday) and the opening of Women's History Month. Come hang out and learn more about the UpStart Collective, meet the founders, and raise a glass to these critical entrepreneurs who make up this incredible ecosystem!

When you come to the building, enter on the Stark St. side and press #2505 on the door pad. The elevator will be unlocked to take you to the 7th floor.

The UpStart Collective is hosting its first First Friday at the new westside location within the Metro Region Innovation Hub. Come hang out, talk to local founders, and raise a glass to making it through another month.

These events are open to all founders, but please, NO SELLING!!

Drinks and small snacks will be provided.

First Fridays are open to the general startup community and a way to connect with fellow founders, ecosystem partners, and general support orgs. Originally started at UpStart Collective as a way to blow off steam and celebrate the completion of another month in business, First Fridays are now open to all and a very low friction way to meet the community at large.

We typically showcase a founder from our community so keep an eye out for an update soon.

Hope to see you there!!

If you want one of the greatest Lattes known to the world, stop by here and order the COCONUT CREAM HONEY LATTE!!!!!!!!!

Nirvana is poured into a glass and handed to you with sweet gracious smiles of you being a customer.

The team here not only know how to make a coffee, they're cool, relaxed and pleasing to watch maneuver while serving a perfect coffee.

It's a great place to stop by grab a coffee, relax while letting the time go by. I would say check them out as much as you can before the secret is out!

While roaming Portland I stumbled across Honey Latte Cafe. As a former barista I am quite picky about espresso drinks and let me say that the barista knocked it out of the park! ~Christina J on Yelp

I don't know what magic is infused in the Coconut cream honey latte but it is just that...magic. One of the best lattes I have had.

Please be sure to grab a cup of your favorite hot beverage and spend time getting to know this incredible community. We've been excited by the turnout every month and by hearing your stories. We can't wait to hear more. ~Melanie W on Yelp

Above 5-star reviews are from Yelp

Really love their local Portland writer/artist vending machine, very cool place

“What do you want?" "Just coffee. Black - like my soul.” ~Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

Hope to see you all there! Josh & Mark

As a business owner you are faced with many challenges. You're forced to make decisions every day that could make or break your business. founder.coffee is a way to network with other entrepreneurs to allow free-flowing information with the intent to collaborate and help each other. So often we're challenged and there's very little we can do to express our challenges with the people we work with or the people we care about. Think of founder.coffee as your own personal support group for business owners. We're all here to help!

Do you feel a chill in the air? Halloween is almost here! Join The Creative Roundtable community for a spooky evening of snacks, drinks, and costumes! Don't fret if you don't have a costume- we'll have a mask crafting station to help you get into the spirit!

We'll have free snacks and refreshments, feel free to bring a friend to enjoy an evening of inspiring conversations with Portland creatives.

Hope to see you there! -Jena & Jeh

It’s summer which means it’s probably getting harder and harder to stay indoors working at your computer, being behind your camera, or making things in your craft room.

In order to deliver our best work professionally we need to take time to relax and recharge. This month we will be sharing what we do in the summer months to recharge and we look forward to hearing from you!

For one night, step away from your work to relax and enjoy summer with The Creative Roundtable community.

As always, light snacks and refreshments will be provided. Bring your ideas and a friend or two. We look forward to seeing you!

What if the person who could further your career was already looking for you?

What if a room full of people knew exactly the insight you sought?

What if your knowledge could be someone else’s Eureka moment?

Welcome to Magnet. Where you can let your net...work.

Here's how it works. At the event, you write down on a sheet of paper something you need help with (aka "your ask") and tape it on the wall, for example:

I need a literary agent.

I need to chat with someone who has started a technology incubator.

I need to connect with someone at GOOD Magazine.

I need to hire a web developer capable of setting up a digital sales platform.

Does anyone have any contacts in Prague?

Does anyone know a good personal trainer?

Does anyone know how I can play a round at Augusta National Golf Club?

It can be anything!

Each sheet will have a unique number associated with it: (1, 2, 3, etc). You’ll have a name tag with that same number.

Everyone’s task will be to look at the board of opportunities and select at least 3 people you’d like to connect with, in whatever capacity.

How do you connect with them? You write your name and "sheet number" on a Post-It note and slap it on their sheet.

Henrik Joreteg – “Avoiding the Spaghetti” Clientside code doesn't have to be an ugly cluttered mess. Building clean, sane, maintainable client-side applications is indeed possible. We'll talk a bit about CommonJS on the client, properly abstracting a model layer, the DOM as a dumb view layer, sharing code between client/ server and other techniques for avoiding insanity like automated static code analysis. 

Henrik is a partner and lead JS developer at &yet (http://andyet.net), a boutique web software company in Richland, WA. He's a member of a growing group of javascript developers who are blazing the trail of realtime and single-page web application development and server-side javascript. Let’s put it this way: the dude cannot shut up about node.js, backbone, and socket.io. 

He is the primary developer for &bang (http://andbang.com) and has written a slew of single-page real-time web apps using a number of technologies. He recently spoke at NodeConf and KRTConf and was a technical reviewer for O'Reilly's JavaScript Web Applications. He is the author of the popular open source javascript templating solution, iCanHaz.js and as an early adopter of Backbone.js wrote several definitive blogposts on the subject. 

The relationships we build with other people are often both the most rewarding and most challenging areas of life – and sometimes, it’s the same relationship that covers both ends of the spectrum! It’s hard trying to figure out how to navigate our relationships when they don’t go smoothly. That’s where Dana Corey, the Modern Relationship Expert, comes in.

Our best relationships become a wellspring of energy that we can tap at any time: to get things done, to heal, or even just to unwind. When we struggle with relationship issues, most of us tend to blame it on our partners. The truth is, having a good relationship is almost never about “fixing” the other person. It’s about you. Who you identify as, what you want, and more than anything, what you’re choosing to do in your life right now.

Join us for this sure to be amazing event. Register here: http://bit.ly/1cKYLhm
