WHO WE ARE
RAINBOW ENTREPRENEUR COLLECTIVE
Based in British Columbia since 2023, Rainbow Entrepreneur Collective (REC) is a volunteer-operated community of 2SLGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs. Meeting up regularly at in-person and online-based gatherings, REC's focus is to create safe spaces for 2SLGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs to share their own stories and experiences with candour and courage.
-
Each of our gatherings follows a predictable, low-anxiety structure: we begin with relaxed mingling, sharing catered snacks and non-alcoholic refreshments. From there, we share a few opening remarks before shifting into facilitated small group discussion so that attendees spend most of their time sharing and listening to one another. Each event concludes with ample space for meaningful connection.
-
Yes, our events are focused solely on 2SLGBTQIA+ Entrepreneurs. In Priya Parker's words, "the first step in convening people meaningfully is committing to a bold, sharp purpose."
-
Rainbow Entrepreneur Collective is a volunteer-run organization aimed at supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ community; as such, our events are catered specifically to members of the rainbow community, and we kindly request that allies find another avenue to supporting queers in business.
