Startup AMA (Ask Me Anything)

If you'd rather just RSVP to the event — without joining this Meetup group — there's an alternate RSVP here: https://luma.com/c35megt3

Got questions…? I've got answers. Probably. Or maybe an "I don't know. But let's find out." Either way, I'll be holding a live AMA session to help you navigate the startup world, prepare for 2026, or simply get some insights on Portland, Oregon.

Who is hosting this AMA…? Rick Turoczy, the cofounder and general manager of PIE, has been working in, on, and around the Portland, Oregon, startup community for nearly 30 years. He has been recognized as one of the “OG”s of startup ecosystem building by the Kauffman Foundation. And he has been humbled by any number of opportunities to speak on stages from SXSW to INBOUND and from Kobe, Japan, to Muscat, Oman, including an opportunity to share his views on community building on the TEDxPortland stage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj98mr_wUA0).
