One Way to Start a Web Company

Portland Web Innovators was founded because we don't just like the technology or the design. Yes, those are a big part of our craft. We also want to work on fulfilling projects, for companies that do good stuff. For many of us, we want to start our own companies. In fact, many Web Innovators already have.
At the May meeting, you'll hear a story of how one guy did it. Paul Anthony started in his dorm room in 1996. That's a pretty humble beginning and I hope his story will inspire you. Join me to hear about the success he's made over more than a decade.
Other Cool Upcoming Events

At the most recent meeting, I invited people in the audience to mention upcoming events of interest to fellow designers, programmers and web businesspeople. I'd like to do the same thing on the Web Innovators site. Let's continue to get Portlanders out from behind their screens and talking to each other.
No foolin', April's meeting was Demolicious!

Despite the meeting being scheduled on April Fools Day, there was another great round of demos this quarter, without a joke in the bunch. If you're interested in taking the stage in July, let me know.
