The start up community here in Portland is strong and getting stronger. Much respect for all those blazing their own trails.
Below is a link to an article on Nerdwallet that speaks to entrepreneurs in Portland, and a 'pitch competition' I photographed last month. The Top Gun Showcase is organized by Maine Center for Entrepreneurial Development and took place June 3rd in Hannaford Hall on the USM campus. Congratulations to Rapport for the big win!
