About
A room, not a list
Portland AI Entrepreneurs, Builders & Investors is an invitation-only community for the Rose City’s founders, operators, and investors. One signal-rich briefing. In-person, off-the-record gatherings. A vouched member directory that is never published.
Members know who convenes it. Guests find out when they accept.
It stays small on purpose, no tickets, no press. Every member is vouched for and every room is off the record. That is the entire membership agreement.
What you would actually be joining
53+
seats already taken
250
founding seats, then the founding class closes
2
vouches per member. Every seat is answered for
No tickets are sold and no seat is bought. Each member may vouch for 2, which is why the room stays worth the evening: everyone in it is answered for by someone already in it.
The calendar
The calendar is how you check we are really here.
Community events belong to their hosts, we just make sure you know. Sources: the Portland Business Alliance, the Technology Association of Oregon, Built Oregon, PDX Startup Week, the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network, TiE Oregon, and Silicon Florist. Refreshed daily. Members get the full calendar weekly.
Gatherings move around Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Lake Oswego, Tigard, Tualatin and the rest of the Rose City, wherever the members are.
🐾 The nonprofit initiative behind this network
Every room we open is in direct partnership with Best‑Friend.org
Millions of healthy animals are put down simply because shelters run out of room. Best‑Friend.org is the world’s first decentralized nonprofit with a planned ending: it builds the system any community can install to solve shelter overcapacity, then disappears because it is no longer needed. It doesn’t ask anyone for money. Sharing is the donation.
That is what this network is ultimately for. The rooms build the businesses; the attention they earn goes to emptying the shelters.
Check us out before you answer.
We put our name on everything we build. The attention this room earns goes to emptying animal shelters, permanently.
