Friends in Portland

Make friends in Portland.

Portland is full of people who moved here for the city and are still looking for their crew in it. The Portland pool is open.

The Portland pool is open

WeVenture is forming crews in Toronto first. In Portland, sign-ups go into a local pool, and a crew forms once enough people nearby want the same thing and fit the same week. You can also choose an online crew in the meantime.

Free for adults 18+. No swiping, no browsing profiles.

Ideas for a Portland crew

What a crew in Portland could do.

Your crew forms around one shared interest and votes on the actual plans. Here is where a few of them could start.

  • Hiking

    Walk the Wildwood Trail through Forest Park.

  • Cycling

    Ride the Eastbank Esplanade along the Willamette.

  • Local food

    Work through the city's food carts, a new pod each week.

Places named here are public spots a crew might choose. WeVenture is not affiliated with them.

Close to home

Portland neighborhoods a crew could meet in.

Crews form around people who live close enough to meet every week, so where you live matters as much as what you love.

  • the Alberta Arts District
  • Hawthorne
  • Sellwood
  • the Pearl District
  • St. Johns
  • Mississippi Avenue

How it works

From a sign-up to a plan on the calendar.

  1. Tell us what you love

    Tap the interests that fit you and the evenings you are usually free. It takes a couple of minutes.

  2. Meet your crew

    WeVenture matches you with people who want the same thing and fit your week. You meet as a group.

  3. Four meetups

    The app plans your first four meetups. After that, everyone privately decides whether to keep going.
