Portland venture capital is picking up (and we've been lucky to be a part of that). An important note is that most of the money isn't coming from Portland and it's not coming in small amounts. Serious investments are coming in from out of state VC firms.

Dedicated entrepreneurs exist and are making a go at it here - and doing quite well.

I'm wary of most of these organizations, but I do have high hopes for the software startup scene here.
