We help Oregonians grow ideas into big organizations that they love—without sacrificing their wellbeing or control. We use tech's playbook to automate the grind and grow faster, without ever demanding that you change who you are.
In 2007, we've helped grow 100s of companies including unicorns like Jama Software, Absci, and ESS. 20 years later and under new leadership, we are now focused on a new way to Let Knowledge Serve. We focus on the middle ground between mom-and-pop shops and VC-fueled startups aiming for a billion dollars or bust. We're for anyone who wants to scale up fast and make a big splash without sacrificing their values—and ideally, have some fun and enjoy their life while they do it. We'll work with anyone. Startups, non-profits, governments, and creators all welcome.
