CrowdStreet is transforming commercial real estate with software and services that enable online fundraising and investor management. Their customers currently use the CrowdStreet ‎Platform to manage over $2.6 billion in U.S. commercial real estate investments.‎

Since CrowdStreet participated in the NW Technology Showcase in May of 2015, the company ‎has raised an ‎additional $3.5 million through a Series A round, added a SaaS offering, increased ‎the number of listings on its Marketplace tenfold, and the projects on the Marketplace ‎platform raised an additional $105 million. The ‎number of customers on the platform went ‎from eight to 110, and they have more than tripled their ‎number of employees with staff ‎count currently at 26. ‎

The company attributes its success to their direct-investment approach that gives investors easy accessibility to high-quality investments. Also providing developers and operators the ‎ability to ‎manage their relationships with investors through this platform is a technology that ‎sets them apart in ‎the world of commercial real estate investing.   ‎

Since participating in the NW Technology Showcase in May of 2016, Portland-‎based startup Vault has received $1.6 million in funding and also took home ‎the ‎Audience Choice Award at TechCrunch Disrupt. Prior to their TechCrunch ‎success in London, the Vault team spent time in Silicon Valley participating in the ‎Plug & Play Fintech Accelerator. Vault is a finance company that offers a ‎unique ‎approach to saving for retirement. Customers use Vault’s app to build better ‎savings habits by automatically depositing a small portion of their income into a ‎diversified portfolio of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). Their mission is to make ‎saving easy and investing accessible to everyone. ‎

Now a strong 12-member team, Vault has hired several key players over the past ‎year. CEO, Randy Fernando, has brought on Jimmy Douglas, Vault’s new Chief ‎Operating Officer and former employee of Portland fintech company, Smarsh. Joel ‎Cloralt, former ‎Microsoft software engineer, is now Vault’s VP of Product ‎Development and most recently, Vault hired Christian Maynard-Phillipp, previously ‎with U.S. Department of the Treasury, as the new Chief Compliance Officer. ‎

What’s next for this growing startup? The launch of their iOS and Android app in ‎the next few days! ‎

After taking home more than half a million in combined funding and follow-on investments at the ‎Willamette Angels Conference in 2015, Moonshadow Mobile’s technology has continued to grow. ‎They had some major milestones since participating in the NW Technology Showcase in May of 2016. ‎Over the last year, they’ve built and introduced DB4IoT, a breakthrough database engine for the ‎Internet of Moving Things that captures GPS location, vehicle health, diagnostic, and other sensor data ‎from moving objects. This technology can be used to track bus, train or passenger movement in real ‎time, retain historic movements and visualize these instantly through animations, graphs, charts, web ‎dashboards and analytics. DB4IoT can be integrated with existing fleet management systems or ‎retrieve data from mobile apps or wearables. ‎

Just this April, TriMet presented at an industry conference on how they used this technology to get a ‎detailed overview of the cellular and LMR connectivity in Portland for a one month period – see more ‎here. This technology is currently in the early stages of use within the public transit sector. Because ‎both vehicle and driver performance can be tracked, it seems Moonshadow Mobile’s product will ‎make for an incredibly useful transportation technology going forward. Moonshadow is now working together with TriMet and Portland based traffic engineering firm DKS to ‎develop a tool to analyze and visualize traffic congestion that causes delays in bus service.  A number ‎of other public transit agencies have shown interest in using DB4IoT for this purpose.‎

Based in Wilsonville, Oregon, RevMedx is a privately held medical device company whose mission is to ‎design, develop and manufacture innovative medical products that save lives. Since presenting at the ‎‎2015 NW Technology Showcase, the company has hit several key milestones to fulfill its mission and ‎launched a commercially successful manufacturing entity in Oregon. ‎

Their premier product, XSTAT® was developed in close collaboration with US Special Forces to address ‎life-threatening bleeding (hemorrhage) in certain areas of the body where current solutions were ‎ineffective. XSTAT is now being carried by military medics and civilian first responders worldwide. The ‎product has been used in numerous successful patient treatments by both military and civilian ‎professionals in the US and globally. RevMedx obtained FDA clearances that have expanded the ‎portfolio to include additional versions of the XSTAT product. The company also expanded its ‎manufacturing by almost doubling the workforce as well as significantly increasing capacity. They ‎have received international media coverage that has included a story on CBS Nightly News and social ‎media coverage that netted over 30 million views on Tech Insider’s Facebook page.   ‎

RevMedx continues to expand its distribution network and plans to be active in 40 countries ‎worldwide by the end of 2017.  ‎
