HUSTLE Portland's Most Action-Oriented Networking for Ambitious Founders & Entrepreneurs

Your next co-founder. Your first investor. Your biggest client.

They could all be at this event.

If you're building a business — or ready to start one — HUSTLE Portland, Oregon is where high-energy entrepreneurs connect, collaborate, and create real opportunities. No fluff. No awkward small talk. Just meaningful connections that move the needle.

Whether you're launching a startup, scaling a side hustle, or raising your first round, this is your chance to meet mentors, investors, future team members, and fellow go-getters who can help you accelerate faster.

Why You Should Come:

• Meet founders, freelancers, and innovators who are doing the work — not just talking about it
• Share ideas, get feedback on your MVP, or find your next business partner
• Discover investor leads, pilot customers, or early adopters for your product
• Walk away with 3–5 valuable new connections (we make sure you actually talk to people)

Perfect For:

Startup founders | Aspiring entrepreneurs | Solopreneurs | Side-hustlers | Freelancers | Investors | Innovators

This is NOT your average "handshake and hope" networking event.

We keep it fast-paced, inclusive, and founder-focused — with structured mingling to help you actually meet the right people.

It's FREE to attend — but space is limited and there is the expectation you buy a full priced drink at the bar.

About the venue: A cocktail bar rated 4.6 from more than 1,200 reviews, mid-priced, open from 4pm to 12:30am Sunday to Thursday. Reviewers describe it as one of Portland's benchmark cocktail bars, with an extensive and well-explained menu, a small snacks menu and dog-friendly patio seating. Several note it gets busy quickly after opening, so arriving early is worthwhile.

Getting there: The venue is on Northwest Everett Street in the Pearl District. Pioneer Square South on the MAX light rail is a ten-minute walk and Goose Hollow fifteen; the Portland Streetcar also serves the Pearl District more directly and is the easier approach. The district is walkable and bike-friendly, and street parking is metered.
