Update:

Alan and I sold The Silicon Forest in 2024.

Overview:

I created The Silicon Forest with my friend Alan to be a one-stop-shop for everything tech in Oregon: the companies, jobs, funding, organizations, and more that make up the great place we call the Silicon Forest.

With this site we hope to:

• Highlight the hundreds of amazing tech companies that operate in Oregon and the opportunities they create for people.
• Make it easy for entrepreneurs to find all the resources and programs available to them in Oregon.
• Create an accessible resource and online home for Oregon's tech community.
