Running a business with purpose can feel lonely. Finding customers who share your values takes time you don’t always have. And knowing which people, services, and businesses can actually help you grow — or who to turn to when you’re stuck on a problem? That’s the kind of thing that usually happens by accident.

This event is designed to make it happen on purpose.

Join us for an evening of Business Speed Dating — a warm, structured, high-energy gathering for mission-driven business leaders who are ready to show up for each other. You’ll get time in the spotlight to share what your business does, what you stand for, and why people should work with you. You’ll hear directly from fellow purpose-led folks about what they’re looking for and what they’re struggling with right now. And in small, rotating groups, real conversations happen fast — the kind that turn into referrals, customers, solutions, and collaborators who actually share your values.

We believe that when values-aligned businesses find each other, everybody wins. Not just the bottom line — but the communities, causes, and people those businesses serve. Everyone in the room is here for the same reason: to grow their business, get unstuck, and help others do the same. That’s what makes it work.

You’ll leave having:

Shared your business and your mission with a room full of like-minded potential customers and collaborators
Heard what other purpose-driven businesses need — and discovered where you can help
Received real input and fresh perspectives on challenges you’re currently facing
Made genuine connections with peers who do business the way you do
And walking away with leads, warm introductions, and real momentum
This is for leaders who know that the right room — full of the right people — can change everything.

Spots are limited to keep groups small and conversations meaningful. Free for members of On Purpose Oregon (formerly B Local PDX). Register now and come ready to give as much as you get.
