At PIE, we've spent years mentoring, nurturing, and supporting early stage startups — and the people who build them — in Portland, Oregon. It's all been part of our mission to "build better founders." A pursuit based on intensive mentorship and peer support that helps founders gain a solid understanding of how to really build a business — separating the prevailing myths from the actual reality of being a founder. Follow along and get real, no-hype, honest advice from mentors and peers who want to help you avoid some of the same mistakes they've experienced.
