Founder Treks
Less networking. More field trips.
Your laptop has seen enough of you for the day.
Time to get out, explore somewhere unexpected, and meet some fellow
founders who could probably use a little recess, too.
So what's a Founder Trek?
Think field trips for grown-ups who happen to run businesses.We bring a small group of Portland founders behind the scenes of fascinating
local businesses, then keep the good times rolling over food or drinks.We handle the planning. You just show up.
Explore
Step inside some of Portland's most unique businesses and discover a world beyond your own.See something unexpected, steal a little inspiration, and maybe head home with a fresh idea for your own business.
Meet
Meet the wonderfully obsessive founders and makers behind these places.Hear their origin stories, spectacular screwups, and hard-earned lessons. Get a behind-the-scenes look at how things really work.No PowerPoints. Just real people doing interesting things.
Connect
Shoot the breeze with a diverse group of founders who get the highs, lows, and typical absurdities of running a business.Share a meal, trade stories, have a laugh, and maybe leave with a few new friends. Think clubhouse, not conference room.
Your next field trip awaits.
We're cooking up our first Founder Trek in Portland for January 2027.
The destination? Still a surprise. But we promise it won't involve sitting through a PowerPoint.The company? A handful of curious founders who'd rather have an adventure than attend another networking event.
