Tonight we celebrated the grand opening of our new space, courtesy of the Portland Development Commission and the PDX Startup Challenge. Mayor Charlie Hales gave a speech to kick off the festivities.
Our office is shared by four other companies including Safi Water Works, OnTheGo Platforms, Walker Tracker, CoPatient and Alum:ni.
