The Portland, Oregon Startup City book is loaded with reference material for the entrepreneur in Portland looking to launch and grow their company. Over 101 up-to-date resources to help founders build momentum and gain traction for their business efforts.

Project Status

After over 18 months of research, compiling, writing, and rewriting, the book is finally ready to be professionally edited, laid out, designed, and polished. The final product will be a 32-page, pocket-sized notebook.

Manufacturing Plan

The book will be printed at Scout Books, a boutique book printer located in Portland, Oregon known for their quality and attention to detail.

Transparent Use of Funds

Money is being allocated towards book layout, graphic designer, cover designer, printing, packaging and distribution. Funds in excess of book printing and related expenses will be distributed 100% transparently through the microfinance platform, Kiva, where we’ve supported 7,257 entrepreneurs to date, over 98% of which are women in developing countries.
