Community Cooperative DirectLink is a regional, member-owned cooperative with a long history (since 1904) and a strong local footprint in Canby and Mt. Angel. This positions them as a trusted, locally focused provider with potential for upsell into adjacent services for existing members and opportunities to partner on community IT initiatives.

Award Winning Presence The company has recent recognition as Best of Canby for 2023 and 2024, signaling strong customer satisfaction and brand credibility. This credibility can be leveraged to win new local SMBs and residential customers seeking reliable connectivity and value-added services.

Mid-Sized Scale With 51-200 employees and annual revenue in the 10–25M range, DirectLink operates at a scale suitable for targeted enterprise-grade services, managed WAN, cloud connectivity, and SIP/VOICE solutions for small to mid-market customers without the complexity of national carriers.

Tech Stack & Delivery Their stack includes PHP, Apache, Bootstrap, and standard web security tools, indicating capability to support modern hosted services, web-based customer portals, and potential for managed IT services, cybersecurity offerings, or cloud-based connectivity add-ons.

Growth & Partnerships As a local provider with national cooperative alignment and a sizable service area (nearly 100 square miles) and a broad partner ecosystem among rural cooperatives, there are opportunities to propose scalable networking, WiFi as a service, or business-grade internet solutions to neighboring communities and small businesses seeking reliable localized support.
