The Power of PIE

Posted by Pinky Gonzales on Jul 18, 2011 in Blog | 0 comments

What happens when the Ad Agency of the Year teams-up with Coca Cola, Target and Nike to nurture and support local entrepreneurs in Portland, OR?

PIE happens. And who doesn’t love PIE? The Portland Incubator Experiment is a concept based on the success of such well-known accelerator funds as Y Combinator, Tech Stars and Nashville’s own Jumpstart Foundry. It is a combination of cash, mentorship and direct opportunities to pitch ideas to some of the world’s biggest brands and major investors, and I am proud to be joining them this week as a bonafide mentor.

PIE is a collaborative center where brands, tech, and culture meet to explore and redefine brand experiences. If you or someone you know has a great idea in need of a launchpad and wouldn’t mind spending the summer in the spectacular Pacific Northwest, it’s free and simple to apply. Head on over to PIEPDX.com, and tell ‘em Pinky sent ya.

Happy entrepreneuring!
