It began with you. Now let’s grow together.

Xcelerate is a transformative community recognizing the systemic inequities and experiences of business owners who embody or share traits of womanhood, within or beyond the gender binary. We work together to build economic power for those traditionally marginalized by the system today, and into the future.

We support women business owners of Oregon.

We celebrate the uniqueness and diversity of people, wherever they are on their journey. Our programs serve women and gender non-conforming business owners in Oregon who have a growth strategy for their business beyond themselves.

Our programming

Coaching from experts in your area of need and industry.

We pair owners with coaches capable of understanding and empathizing with the full scope of their challenges and experience. Each coach you work with is prepared to help you tackle the present and open your eyes to the possibilities of the future.

Peer mentorship with a growth mindset.

Our peer mentorship program unites small groups of women by shared business stage and pain points. The bimonthly groups create space for owners to share their challenges, learn effective goal setting, receive accountability and wrap-around support from a growth mindset.

Education to deepen your understanding.

There’s always more to learn, whether you’re here to create an investor pitch, learn a new cash management strategy or to price your latest product. Our learning sessions and workshops are designed to help you dive deeper or fill gaps in your skills so you can move forward.
