New Money, New Economy: A Free Networking Event For Queer Founders

Welcome to New Money, New Economy! Calling all Queer Founders for a Free Networking Event at GRAYBOX. Join us for an energizing afternoon designed to bring Portland’s LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs, creatives, and community builders together.

This isn’t your average networking event — it’s a call to community.

As economic uncertainty grows and legacy systems falter, we’re coming together to imagine something better: a future where queer-owned businesses thrive, support each other, and lead with collective power. Expect bold conversation, shared stories, and meaningful connections — all in a space designed by and for us.

• Opening remarks + panel: A candid conversation on the state of queer business
• Facilitated community dialogue: Let’s talk about what we really need to grow and sustain our work
• Campaign spotlight: A quick look at key campaign actions that are going on in Oregon & how we can activate together for lasting change
• Networking + connection: Because queer community is our superpower

Whether you’re a founder, freelancer, aspiring entrepreneur, or ally — this event is for anyone building something in Portland and beyond.

We’re creating space for possibility, and we’d love to see you there.
