Moving Strategy Forward
Dave Barcos is playing the long game. Economic development in Vancouver, Washington requires a steady hand and stable vision. Dave has that vision.
In the future there will be startups, and those startups will have support.
That support will be an ecosystem of knowledge, experience, and funding. Over the past 4-5 years, Dave has provided structure when there was none, held up economic development for the startup community, and given it a chance when Portland’s long shadow stretched across the Columbia River. Vancouver is coming into its own. Nurtured throughout, the startup community is growing. Dave is to thank for that first and foremost.
Through his North Bank Innovation organization, Dave Barcos is ‘Moving Strategy Forward’.
