First off let me say that I'm pumped that there is movement in the Portland startup scene. Even though I am not very well plugged in to the local scene (if you are a Portlander raise your hand and I'll buy you a beer), as a Portlander, this is awesome to see something -- anything -- happening up here considering how cool this city is.

Otherwise, get ready because this shit is going to happen a lot all over the place. Really, this is business and we've been spoiled by YC -- this is the way the rest of the world works.
