The Portland Small Business Network serves the small business community of Portland, Oregon. We offer education, networking, support and community. Our flagship networking events - called $5 for 5 Hours of Networking take place monthly at various locations in the metro Portland area. There is no membership for this group and no complicated rules. Our events are simply $5 to attend and we try to bring a little fun back into networking with special entertainment at our events. Portland Small Business Network keeps the focus on business, though. Our participants have reported fantastic business connections made at our events. In the near future, we plan to fully launch our website portlandsmallbusinessnetwork.com as a continuous resource for all small business in Portland. We began as a Facebook Group that has grown to over 10,000 Local Members and serves as a place to market and exchange ideas.
