Mission
Unbound Collective is a professional social club based in Portland, Oregon that fosters a supportive environment for nonbinary and women entrepreneurs and leaders shaping the future of work.
Who We Are
The current makeup of Unbound Collective members is mostly women and some nonbinary AFAB (assigned female at birth) people, many of whom are self-employed, freelance, or working in flexible roles. Members will come and go, and that’s a natural part of life and community. We gather socially, support each other professionally, and our membership is open to non-entrepreneurs and inclusive of nonbinary AMAB (assigned male at birth), trans, and/or gender-expansive folks. Please reach out if you have any questions about gender inclusivity or membership.
Key Practices for Cis Allies in Unbound Collective

-
Use gender-neutral language (e.g., “everyone” instead of “ladies” or “women”)
-
Speak up if you witness misgendering
-
Learn more about nonbinary identities and how to show up as a thoughtful ally here.

A Supportive & Interconnected Community
Being a solo entrepreneur or consultant can feel isolating. The Unbound Collective is a space for us to share experiences in a nonlinear, non-hierarchical way that values mutual aid and care as currency. We are driven by relationships, ideas, and a deep connection to nature and the body.
A Non-Urgent, Organic Approach to Growth
