INDUSTRY: Brandlive Flies the Cascade Web Development Nest

Incubators are all the rage in Portland these days, and they make sense. If a company that is able to stand on its own two feet can provide support and direction for a company that's still learning to walk, then there can be a real benefit there - many times mutual. At some point, though, the fledgling company must take that ominous first step of self-support and go it on their own.

We've just heard that Brandlive, a branded online video service and collaboration tool, has received funding from a series of investors, such as the Portland Seed Group, and will be departing from their incubator, Cascade Web Development. The complete press release can be seen on the Brandlive site.
