Скачать или смотреть Startup founders: Where are they now…?

Remember that amazing founder you saw on stage a few years ago? Where are they now? We want you to know.

That's why — in celebration of Black History Month 2025 — Built Oregon, Pitch Black, PIE, and Vanport Studio are partnering to celebrate Black founders from our programs by learning more about the journeys of our alums since we last saw them on stage — even if that journey no longer involves startups.
