Portland (or possibly virtual) Operator Meet-Up

Posting to gauge interest in a Portland meet up for people currently operating B2B companies. Alternatively, we could do a virtual meetup if there's interest from people not in the Portland area. I acquired a software services firm 2 years ago through a self-funded search. There’s value in having a strong peer group of people who are in the trenches leading teams and scaling operations. I’m initially focusing on B2B because the GTM, employee dynamics, operations, etc. differ than what I've seen with retail or consumer companies. If this sounds interesting, comment below or send me a message. If there’s enough interest, I’ll put something together.

We're located in Eugene. We do not look at software specifically, so if that is a requirement may not be a good fit. Other peer groups to look at would be EO, Vistage, YPO (depending on size of co). Oregon is a small business community, feel free to reach out, happy to connect.

In the middle of a B2C Blue collar acquisition and have found trading notes with other operators very helpful. Happy to join and trade notes if helpful.
