I think you're pretty awesome! Thanks for being you! Hope all is well on your end.

Best thumbnail yet.

Clearly super excited about all of the entrepreneur support coming online: Vanport Studio, Portland Regional Innovation Hub, and Prosper Portland Office of Small Business are all welcome additions to our startup and entrepreneurial community in Portland, Oregon 🙌

great episode!

Hi Rick… signed up to your newsletter from your company “silicon florist” that lead me here on your channel😂….admire your love for Portland

Do you have other Portland folks who are doing an amazing job of balancing their aggressive humility with owning the narrative for Portland by highlighting the incredibly things in our community…? I'd love to hear your suggestions 🙏

What is with the ratty beard....jezzus

Ready for the heat wave to end. Thanks for the news update

Couldn't agree more. 👏 and it's also the people who having amazing support networks like the ones you've built. 🙏

We subscribe, how do you remember to show up?

cuz you rip ppl off... advice to make yourself feel better

I feel like Oregon should be an avoided state until they stop taking inspiration from Florida.

Did duck dynasty just come out? I have no idea who this guy is or what hes talking about. Weird algorithm.

Apparently, I decided to drift off screen for this one 😂

Fantastic reminder, something I often struggle with. Haven't heard anyone else talk about this, so thanks for sharing.

Backyard musings with Rick! I appreciate you sharing this explanation of the topic. I've had students assert that they've 'never failed' and question the value of failure. This video can serve as a great counterpoint to that.

Amen, brother!

What types of businesses does she or you help/work with? Any meetups coming up? Thanks for sharing

So thankful for all of the guidance and advice that Diane has given me over the years. This award is extremely well deserved. 👏👏👏

Have you ever been to Bend Venture Conference…? As I mentioned, I'm thinking of heading back, this year.

What Bay Area/Silicon Valley concept fails miserably where you are…?

I always love these points in the development of technology when - before everything is sanitized and played out - you still have the freedom to be creative with that tech.

Timely. Wall Street Journal "Can AI Startups Outrun Dot-Com Bubble Comparisons? Investors Aren’t So Sure." www.wsj.com/articles/can-ai-startups-outrun-dot-com-bubble-comparisons-investors-arent-so-sure-6e7d90c0

I love this opportunity to try stupid shit with ai. Especially when it allows smaller companies and independent users taking risks and trying things they wouldn’t otherwise be able to do.

Spot on. Peak technology is invisible. It's a tool you use without being aware you're using it. Like the web now. With AI, we're in the "Hey, Ma! Lookit what I can do!" phase. I love your message of just exploring and figuring out how to use this new thing. I'm working on AI for Hinge Health and we're pretty level headed about it and it's easy to want to pump the brakes.

Waiting for the AI fart button

Rick, your strategic perspective is spot on, IMO, and for me, perfectly timed!

I 100% align with much of this. Sadly companies like Rabbit and AI pin may cause investors to be a bit skeptical moving forward. Definitely an exciting time rn.

“Do stupid shit with AI.” 😂

Thrilled to see that TIE Oregon is reaching into neighboring counties to share the spotlight on startups. I hope @FanWagn will be part of the #ClackCo Pitch Comp alongside other south/east metro startups!

Really excited to see what Juan is able to do now that he's got the opportunity to focus on Latino Founders, full time. What's most exciting to you about what's happening in the Portland startup community, these days…?

It's been really interesting to see how the impact of Cloud infrastructure has drastically changed the geography of the Portland startup community.

This. Full stop. Thanks for sharing Turoczy. Great insights. Raw. Emotional. Real. Startups in PDX are no joke. You need both steel and cotton. You need to be tough, but approachable. Thanks for this dude.

While I've got a litany of topics I can talk through, please let me know if there's something you'd like me to riff on. I promise to keep it unscripted, unedited, and off the cuff. Looking forward to your questions and topics 🙏

Being a startup founder is hard. Anywhere. But being a startup founder in Portland has some additional challenges - not unlike the challenges that many founders face, around the world - that can make it even more difficult. That's one reason I try to celebrate the folks who are taking on that challenge, here.

So glad to see this vision coming to fruition! Looking forward to seeing what Juan can accomplish now that he has the opportunity to focus on Latino Founders 🙌

Thanks for recommending our #DAREwithDarwoft podcast, Rick!😁 We’re proud to feature Stephen Green’s episode, where he shares his experiences and challenges in transforming Portland's entrepreneurial ecosystem.🙌🚀

After 30 years, there's a lot of this stuff in my head. I'm looking forward to getting some of it out of there. Hope you find it helpful.

Always here to support founders. Because being a founder is hard. ❤

I was really happy with the variety of content I came across this week: a new pitch competition for local startups, some national news, positive Portland podcasts, and a new skate competition that debuts in Portland 🛹

Thanks for asking bro
