Hitting the Ground Running

6/23/2025

This past week, we had the opportunity to attend the Oregon Startup Conference, an energizing gathering of founders, builders, and investors from across the Pacific Northwest. It was a great space to share our vision for the future of work and to learn from others tackling similar challenges in the startup ecosystem. We also had the chance to connect with a number of angel investors and VCs, an incredible first step in exploring the numerous funding pathways that are available to us today.
