Thank you Dawn and Rick and OurPdx and many others for writing post about this. As soon as I heard about it at the tail end of WebVisions, my heart sank for them and I wanted to jump in and help right away.

CubeSpace has been great and it also given me a chance to know my Portland Tech Community a little better too.

Thanks!

PDXSays, CubeSpace does so much for other communities, too. I tried to focus this post on the technology community, since it is the one that I’m a part of, but it’s great that multiple communities have pulled together to help.

I’m happy to see the community pitching in and supporting CubeSpace.

If it hadn’t been for CubeSpace my company would never have really gotten off the ground. David & Eva created the perfect incubator space to help small business migrate from a home office into a dedicated office. Between the contacts made and quiet work environment I was able to bootstrap my way into an office in about half the time typical bootstrap startups can do it.
I can’t begin to imagine the Portland Tech scene without the culture rich haven that David & Eva setup.
I do concur however that turning more focus to flexible spaces and possibly changing the business model to adapt to the current economic situation might be a better idea. Perhaps a nonprofit co-op would be the best solution, giving all techies a stake in keeping the geek consulate open to benefit us all?
We’re thrilled we could help them out the way they helped us just 8 short months ago.

Cheers to David & Eva (and all of those who have helped make it the great place it is!)

I find it ironic that a place where a small business — *any* small business, not just a technology business — can get free or low-cost legal and financial advice on business models has been forced by unprecedented economic events to re-define its own business model. And I am convinced that there *is* a viable business model and that David and Eva will find / create it and prosper. That’s the kind of people they are, and that’s the kind of people Portlanders are. “Yes we can!”

As a local small business owner, many of our customers use CubeSpacePDX as an island and portal for their operations. This is a time where businesses need to step up to help other local businesses. This is a small city where many technology firms intertwine with one another. We’re grateful for KGW’s coverage of this event and the outpouring of support from our customers and the huge array of community members involving themselves to help out CubeSpace.
