What we’re about
We are a collaborative of Women Innovators working inside other people's businesses or having started our own businesses. In any case, we are working to build business 4 good.
We must change the places where we women work to build a better tomorrow, period.
This group empowers established and emerging women in business —especially with a direct focus on ALL women in communities previously undervalued —by democratizing innovation. We help to connect women in PDX and make business solutions as accessible as a good cup of coffee.
To start, we've based the first handful of Meet Ups around what we've heard from Women in our community over the past two years. And we will evolve topics to focus on the overall desires of the group.
Hot topics we are starting with:
- Demystifying AI & Empowering You with Tech , after all a nail file was once considered technology!
- Building or Revamping Good Business Plans
- Refining or Building Strong Go to Market Strategy & Strategic Business Partnerships
- Finding Funding beyond Venture Capital
- Inclusion-based & Trauma Informed Leadership
- Systems & Operations
- Exiting with Your Head High
The world needs business to do better. This Meet up group and it's supporting group of Women building business 4 good is here to help make it happen!

💖 House Rules (aka: The Vibe Check) 💖
Our core values at Business 4 Good anchor our events based on inclusive practices that grow beyond equity. These are our house rules on all our channels, virtual and in person events and all business we build, 4 good!
Everyone IS welcome — but good vibes and respect are 100% the vibe. Let’s keep it cute and professional:
✨ Flirt with ideas, not people.
This is a space for networking, not pick-up lines. Keep it respectful.
✨ Hype her up!
If someone inspires you, say so! We love compliments rooted in admiration and connection. (Yes, there is a difference – you know the one.)
✨ Share the tech tea.
Got insights on the latest in AI, tools, or tech trends?
Spill! We’re here to learn from each other.
✨ No mansplaining, no mic-hogging.
Listen as much as you speak.
We’re building an inclusive circle, not a one-human show.
✨ Connect with intention.
Bring your biz cards or QR codes — we love a well-placed follow-up.
✨ Read the room.
If someone’s not vibing or engaging, respect their space. We’re here to support, not pressure.
