Rick Turoczy
More than mildly obsessed with the Portland, Oregon, startup scene
Rick Turoczy has been working in high-tech marketing communications in the Portland area for nearly 20 years. Out of pure dumb luck, he happened to sit up in bed at 2 AM one night in 2007 with the inspiration to start Silicon Florist, a blog about Portland startups in the Web, Mobile, and Open Source scenes. Since then, he’s spoken all over; written for one of the top tech blogs in the world; judged startups at SXSW; been named to the Portland Business Journal’s “40 under 40”; been elected to the boards of the Technology Association of Oregon, Oregon Entrepreneurs Network, and Entrepreneurs Foundation of the Northwest; advised the City of Portland and the Portland Development Commission; cofounded a startup incubator with the help of Wieden+Kennedy; and cofounded an event which Fortune called "the next SXSW."
All because of a blog. Weird.
