Our company is in the Portland Seed Fund portfolio also. We know Todd and his team and they are good people. They worked incredibly hard at building up Vizify.

While it may be a bummer for users, I hope this is a positive step for the team and congratulate them on their effort!
EDIT: It is worth mentioning that Vizify raised in the valley, but ran the company out of Portland. Only a few consumer internet companies have done this so far, but in each case it has brought a lot to the city by helping build out the startup ecosystem up there.
It is way different running a consumer internet startup in Portland from the valley. We couldn't do it--we moved down to CA.
