Portland’s most influential business network, we are run by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs.

We are part of the global EO organization of 16,000+ entrepreneurs, with 213 chapters across 60+ countries, and with over 120 members in the Portland chapter.

EO Portland member companies include many of the brands Portlanders know and love, and many more of the unsung voices that make our economic, social, and cultural lives here so vibrant and fulfilling.

A unique, experience-based network, EO Portland holistically supports the needs of entrepreneurs through business, family, community & personal growth experiences. We are not-for-profit, with all our funds contributing directly to providing member benefits.

We offer world-class events — based in Portland and beyond — encompassing entrepreneurial stories, leadership development programs, skills-specific workshops, and social events.


EO has enabled me to meet people just like me. Every one of them has business battle scars and experiences that they share openly and freely. You can’t buy the experience that exists in the member base. It’s invaluable.”
