Tony Peniche- Creativity and Business Incubators in the Heart of American Cool

Fewer places have garnered such a reputation for being ''happening'',''hipster'' or ''cool'' in the last decade that Portland, Oregon. The creative energy and influx of young, ambitious and exciting people to the area even spawned its own satirical television show, which whilst it mocked the scene in Portland, also portrayed just how cool and happening it really is. The city now has a reputation for its thriving musical and arts scenes, as well as being a fertile place for young and old entrepreneurs to bring their exciting new ideas to the market and help them grow. Any modern fashionable business grown in the past decade, especially in the consumable products markets, would have a strong chance of having originated in Portland, Oregon.

For start-up and crowd funding expert  Anthony Peniche – Taking a Business to the Community means allowing entrepreneurial pursuits to thrive and give opportunities to all who want to start companies. To create an atmosphere and environment where such businesses can grow requires many factors, and Portland Oregon has captured them all. There is always the case of people having and earning enough money to buy the products, which with its high professional employment, Portland has.

However before this stage, a business needs as much help as it can get to get the wheels turning and gain some momentum. This brings us to a new phenomenon that has emerged in major cities across the world- the freelance and creative spaces. As more and more people have the opportunity to work where they like, ''creative spaces'' have arisen to allow people to work in these good environments.

Tony Peniche was the founder of one such space, NXT Industries, a 5,000 square foot converted building. Tony curated the space for freelancers, entrepreneurs and artists to bring together a collection of exciting and innovative minds to grow and cultivate their ideas. For entrepreneurs looking to set up their companies and be in an environment conducive to learning, creativity and positivism, is a great chance for them to have a platform on which to build. Furthermore, the presence of other individuals in similar pursuits can increase networking opportunities, and help them work with each others ideas and grow together. This has helped cities like Portland become the place that is always at the frontier of change and progress, and is an exciting times for all entrepreneurs looking to get the wheels in motion for successful business practice.
