Üma is a rockstar, she did a bang up job on the front page in no time. 

Within just a couple of hours, I'd found a suitable candidate (Nathan Sinton, whose services I also recommend) to help me with my task. Two days later, it was completed, much to my satisfaction. Thanks, switchboard!

The Norse Hall has a variety of reasonably priced rooms with enough lead time (~3 months or more).

I got several responses, two that resulted in actually meeting and talking things through.  One of those looks very promising, and one's still up in the air.  It's an intense thing, looking for a cofounder, and I'm very grateful to the Switchboard for helping out with it.

And recently made it to news for Pregmo App on Huffpost and Dailymail (Ref. News - https://goo.gl/oyy9Ez).

Thanks so much for the helpful advice everyone! I've set up a couple of appointments and learned a ton already.

We're just now starting the interview process. But we've got over 10 professionals interested in key positions in the company. Fingers crossed that things align and we grow.

The table has been claimed!

We received a number of additional entries for the event following posting on Switchboard, thus  building community around furthering the creation of social impact businesses concepts and teams, with both local and global reach.   For example, this is my project:   https://twitter.com/thehumantrust Thank you helping to build community and make projects like this possible Switchboard!

Thank you to everyone who responded! 

I love Portland startups portal, everyone is helpful, humble, and it does what it should be. I wish good to the team and community.

Grateful for the thoughtful advice I received.

Great place to eXpand your business. Hub of professionals of different areas.

I've worked with Mike in the past at an ad agency in Portland. He's got serious copywriting chops, very detail oriented, and writes for strategic impact. Hit him up and thank me later.

Great founders turned out. I learned a lot and everyone there made a valuable connection.

Have gotten lots of great responses. We are starting to do interviews next week, so get in quick if interested! 🙌 

I love how people responded quickly and honestly, but all privately. Wondering if people are reluctant to give public recommendations here?

We had several people attend our event who heard about it from Switchboard, and one member reached out to offer help. 

PDX Switchboards is so helpful and saves so much time hyper-connecting within the tech-community. Onward, boz

So far I have received responses from 6 individuals.  All were positive and 5 have led to on-going engagements.  I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the Portland Startups community on Switchboard.

I appreciate the feedback I have gotten and we are persueing a solution with the suggestions received.  I am interested in finding a PHP programmer closer to Corvallis, if you know of one.  Am also interested in how to promote our website CommunityBulletinBoard.com as a startup in Oregon.  I will start marketing after we get this email issue resolved. Thanks all. Donald J. Russell CommunityBulletinBoard.com

I have heard from so many qualified iOS devs as a result of this post. Thank you, PDX Startups Switchboard!

I love Switchboard. Great community, great conversations with qualified people, no sharks or charlatans.

Portland startup people are amazing!  We got 6 people volunteering to help.  I love you all.... and Switchboard! 

Received a ton of private responses from WP devs and got started on a fix.   Great progress already.   Thanks switchboard!
