    Week ending Jan 3, 2025 - Portland startup news

    2025 starts right now for Portland startups. (Fun fact: It actually started a couple of days ago.) Given the cyclical nature of startup communities, Portland startups can look to 2025 as a positive continuation of the momentum built in 2024. It's less of a prediction. And more of a "I've been through this cycle before. Several times."
