Eli Beer is a pioneer, social entrepreneur, President and Founder of United Hatzalah of Israel. In thirty years, the organization has grown to more than 6,500 volunteers who unite together to provide immediate, life-saving care to anyone in need - regardless of race or religion.

2025 starts right now for Portland startups. (Fun fact: It actually started a couple of days ago.) Given the cyclical nature of startup communities, Portland startups can look to 2025 as a positive continuation of the momentum built in 2024. It's less of a prediction. And more of a "I've been through this cycle before. Several times."
