PIE (Portland Incubator Experiment)

PIE (Portland Incubator Experiment) is an ongoing experiment exploring the potential for mutually beneficial collaboration between the Portland startup community and more well-established entities like corporations, government, and educational institutions. We've spent years mentoring, nurturing, and accelerating startups from around the world in Portland, Oregon. It's all been part of our mission to "build better founders."​ Now, we're also helping other accelerators, so our learnings — the successes and the failures — can positively impact more founders everywhere, regardless of their passion. We currently have three flavors of PIE: SaaS startups, startups creating manufactured objects, and startups focused on consumer products.
