Portland's longest-running pitch night, revived by Rick Turoczy and the UpStart Collective: any founder gets three minutes on stage, the room votes by QR code, and the winner walks off with the Demolicious championship belt. It draws the actual local builder crowd — pre-seed teams shipping real things, not polished decks — and is the single best monthly read on what's being built in the Silicon Forest. Free, scrappy, and the easiest way for a new founder to plug into the PDX scene in one night.
