Comment on Update on Portland Ten (Founder defends her approach)

Comments

Josh, thanks for your comment. That's a good comment that the interview process has a contest-feel, and I'm not sure that will be the approach we take in the future.

More than anything, we want to find candidates who are a good fit for the challenge of working toward the $1M goal, have a project that has the potential to be viable in the market, and who are a good match between the other founders we are working with and Portland Ten staff/advisors.

Thanks again for your input--

Well, the contest approach(controversy?) seems to have garnered a healthy amount of interest(scrutiny?) for the project. All of your clarifications and justifications have been on point, but I'm still uneasy about the underlying premise.

One thing is certain: whether or not I decide to get involved I will definitely be following along. -Josh
