Well said Rick Turoczy - thanks Stephen Green for all you do to support and help so many people, organizations and businesses

Here you go, more than 50 Black owned businesses from around Oregon that you can support. Thanks to Silicon Florist 🌹 for the recap that you do. #BlackHistoryMonth may be over but you can keep the momentum moving through the year by supporting these businesses. #BHM Built Oregon

Well done, Built Oregon !

Ditto Rick Turoczy on this - well deserved indeed

Comments on a PDX Startup Slack channel thread reminded me of this Medium post Rick Turoczy & I wrote 3 years ago. It's hard to break the normal thinking around startup/founder life but I truly hope that we can reframe it in a human way going forwards. medium.com/@pdxmitch/the-…

#BHM Day 4 - Ian Williams, founder Deadstock Coffee in Old Town. Ian’s brand/vision has never wavered & resulted in Deadstock being one of the most recognizable PDX brands. But more importantly, it remains a community gathering space for conversations, connections, & smiles.

For day 9 of #BHM, WOHM honors the sneakerhead who makes things happen for Black and brown businesses, Stephen Green. The enigmatic vocal proponent of Black/POC business success left the world of banking to pursue his goal of supporting "underestimated" founders. 📸: @macsmiff

#BHM Day 19 - Charlie Gilkey founder of Productive Flourishing. He helps people start finishing what matters most ans is the author of critically-acclaimed books like Start Finishing: How to Go from Idea to Done, The Small Business Lifecycle, and Team Habits.

Applications for the Built Oregon consumer products accelerator are open until May 22, 2023. I, for one, am really looking forward to learning about a whole bunch of awesome Oregon consumer products in the next few weeks. /cc Mitch Daugherty @pdxbizmalia bizjournals.com/portland/inno/…
