Coming to an area near you
I’m in the Portland Airport writing from my new iPhone (which I love). We are just leaving town after hosting a LivePitch event here in conjunction with PortlandTen, NedSpace, Stoel Rives, and Lunch2.0. We had around 125 people in attendance and saw 5 pretty awesome companies pitch.
I love these events. I love seeing the passion of the entrepreneur in action. I love to see the vulture and variety that is so apparent in various cities throughout the US. I was especially excited today because we announced to the group that we are looking to expand permanantly into the NW and hire someone up here — and we had a lit of interest.
We are also looking to go to other markets also: Colorado, Arizona, and SoCal to name a few. If you or someone you know is interested, let me know.
Each person that we recruit in the local market will be focused on 3 things: community development (angels, entrepreneurs, universities, business organizations, etc), events, and attracting new revenues. Let’s be honest, it’s my dream job! 
After leaving events like this, i’m reminded how much the business community needs them. We need to move quicker to spread them out to our already-existing custers throughout the US. Here we come!
