Week ending Dec 1, 2023 - Portland startup news

Portland, Oregon, startup news - Silicon Florist

Portland, Oregon, startup news this week has a great mix of Oregon consumer product startup news and Portland tech startup news. So many company mentions. And some national recognition in the pages of Inc. magazine. Trying to keep this all under 10 minutes was more challenging than I could handle. So I'm 90 seconds over.

As always, I'll chunk the Portland startup news below so that you can jump to the stories that are most important to you.
