Entrepreneurs are the innovators of the greater Portland area’s business community. When the economy struggles, they innovate, work harder, and work together. These individuals and their companies deserve our recognition and support. Now is the time, and entreverge is the opportunity, to celebrate the city we love, encourage new growth, and create the economy to which we aspire.
