Networking Through
Community Involvement

We are a small business non-profit networking group focused on building connections in our community through outreach, education, and volunteering. Based in Portland, Oregon, our core purpose is to help emerging small businesses grow while making a positive impact in our community.

Who We Are

We share leads and referrals, with the goal of using our areas of expertise to help each other professionally and personally.

But what really drives Connect PDX is our community involvement. We volunteer regularly in our community; and sponsor, support, promote, and host events with non-profit partners.

We hold monthly happy hour meetings where we engage and interact with each other. We offer support, advice, and camaraderie.

Connect PDX was started with a simple purpose: to grow our professional and personal connections while doing good things for our community.

We’re working to create a respected, influential group of community-minded small business professionals. Want to help us get there?

We are not a chamber of commerce. We are not a business alliance. We are not policy advocates. We don’t have quotas on the number of meetings you attend, what profession you are in, or how much you volunteer. And we’re definitely not boring.

We also do not require members to exclusively refer each other. While the goal of attending any networking group is to grow connections and build business relationships, we consider doing business together a bonus, not a requirement.
