PIE (Portland Incubator Experiment)

PIE (Portland Incubator Experiment) is an ongoing experiment designed to explore how established organizations — corporations, government, and educational institutions — can effectively collaborate with startup communities for mutual benefit. Throughout our history, we have served as a coworking space, an early stage startup accelerator, and a consultancy, partnering with organizations like Autodesk, Coca-Cola, Daimler, Google, Intel, Nike, Prosper Portland, Puppet, the State of Oregon, Target, and Wieden+Kennedy, among others.

Return

Return helps companies focus.

Return does this by helping you distill your ideas into concepts that your customers and employees appreciate, understand, and embrace. Then, we help you develop the strategy and tactics that will breathe life into those concepts.

This isn't magic. It's simply focus.

Business for a Better Portland

We see ourselves not as a trade association but as a community-building organization. We are built on the premise that a thriving city supports thriving businesses. Our members want to do their part towards solving community-wide problems like housing affordability and workforce diversity. Working alongside government and nonprofits, we’ve seen real results. That’s a fundamentally different way of operating when compared to traditional chambers of commerce.
