It makes me happy to see other markets besides Silicon Valley and SF (yes I do not consider SF part of the Silicon Valley) get some attention about what they're doing. US News did a great piece about my hometown, Portland about how it's becoming a great place to start a company. http://www.usnews.com/opinion/economic-intelligence/2014/12/23/portland-oregon-is-a-hub-for-entrepreneurship-and-startups http://www.usnews.com/opinion/economic-intelligence/2014/12/... I can attest to this. SF is a great place to start a company, but Portland is a different world. People are much more collaborative. If you start a company here, you'll be able to find help. It's incredible. I'm Bay Area born and raised, but I'll never go back. The underserved markets are less toxic, more collaborative, and foster an ecosystem in which people can focus on their product or services without a lot of underlying tension.
