A work colleague and I recently quit our jobs at an aerospace engineering firm in Hood River to start a regional composting business. We found that creating a start-up during the recession has some distinct benefits. Notably- much of the capital equipment we require for the business is greatly devalued, which greatly reduces our fiscal barriers to entry.
