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.
