Oili is an app that’s like the Uber of oil changes: independent contractors get oil change requests on their device, drive where the requester is parked and change their oil on the spot.
The tech startup is joining the Clark County grove in the Pacific Northwest’s silicon forest; the county’s local population growth, tax incentives and access to greenery and scenery continue to make it a growing tech hub.
“The culture of support among startup entrepreneurs in Clark County stands out,” Columbia River Economic Development Council business relationships director Marnie Farness said. “Peer startup companies make time to connect with each other and share resources.”
Farness said that being close to big-tech players invited spinoff ideas and innovation in software development, biotech or the semiconductor industry.
