Portland, Ore.-based digital biz magazine seeks funding

A digital business magazine called Stake hopes to launch later this year, but it needs $7,000 in donations by the end of the month to get off the ground.

To donate money, go here. The magazine currentlyhas $691 in funding.

Support will go directly to journalists, photographers, videographers, developers and designers to help us turn Stake into a full-fledged digital publication. After the first issue, it’ll turn to sponsors so it can continue publishing.
