Exilior Coffee
Exilior was born from a shared belief between Francis, who grew up in a small Kenyan village, and Maya, raised in the Pacific Northwest. Their different upbringings gave them a deep understanding of the power of community and the importance of lifting others. Together, they set out to create something more than a business—Exilior became a mission to connect worlds and empower lives.
Bloom Caramel
At Bloom Caramel, we strive to make artisan caramel products that are allergy- and animal-friendly using a process rooted in traditional caramel making technique — small batch kettles, stirred by hand to ensure quality — but with pure coconut milk, an increasingly popular dairy alternative. And you will never find a trace of corn syrup in our caramels. That’s just how we like it.
Honeybee Lemonade Syrups
Originally served to customers with sparkling water from the window of a food cart by Andrea Wade, Honeybee Lemonade Syrups hit the shelves in 2019. After a successful career working with students, parents, principals and teachers in a large school system for nearly a decade, Andrea was ready to use her skills and creativity in her own business. Andrea’s past includes owning a food cart in Portland, Oregon. From day one, customers found Honeybee Lemonade Syrups to be unique and crave-worthy.
People of Colour Clothing
The inspiration behind creating this clothing brand stemmed from shouldering racial identity within a predominantly white environment. With that experience developed forms of anxiety, depression, and isolation behavior. The overwhelming state of desolation deepened the need for cathartic expression. Through fashion developed a concept that connected racial identity in a format that also helped bring awareness and relief to everyday struggles. By creating wearable content that brought awareness to social issues, while also empowering the voices and presence of people of color, this clothing concept redirected conversations back to social equity and accountability. This personal form of expression caught the interest of others and shortly-there-after was legitimized into the brand now known as People of Colour Clothing (P.O.C.C).
La Familia Cider Company
La Familia is a locally-made cider inspired by traditional Mexican Aguas Frescas, with flavors that combine Oregon’s new craft cider movement with Mexico’s passion for fresh-fruit drinks.
Ice Queen
Ice Queen was founded in 2018 by Rebecca Smith with a simple goal: to bring handcrafted, plant-based paletas to the heart of Portland. What started with just a foldable table, a pink Yeti cooler, and a lot of passion has grown into a cherished fixture in the vibrant Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood, near Ladd's Addition.
Hibisbloom
We created Hibisbloom to share our traditional West African food culture with the rest of the world for a blissful traditional experience with a glass hibiscus flower sip commonly known as Bissap. In Ivory Coast, like in most West African countries, it is the must have drink refresher after a long day of work, with a meal, at special occasions, happy-hours or for kid’s snack time popsicle.
VOXAPOD
We're creating a safe space for you to know your body more and focusing our impact on those who can’t afford or access safe period care and are denied opportunity, dignity, and basic human rights as a result. VOXAPOD is a collective of conscious humans working together to create intersectional impact – including gender equity, health, education, social and economic development, and the environment – because all of these things impact our well-being.

Plant Bomb
At Plant Bomb, we firmly believe that just because something is all-natural, plant-based, and good for you does not mean it has to taste bland or boring. Au contraire!

PANGA
Ingrid Adeogun has been in the dental industry for over 10 years in Portland, Oregon. She has increasingly seen a demand for effective, environmentally friendly dental products.

ONDRwear
ONDR was the answer to deliver incontinence underwear with comfort and function without compromising style and performance. We also strive to bring awareness about just how common this issue is with the hopes of having open conversations without the shame or stigma that sometimes comes with living with incontinence.
MISE
We are MISE - a team of creatives who wanted our friends in the culinary industry to finally have kitchen shoes they can count on. The people who flavor our lives and cook up our favorite moments have sacrificed self-expression, comfort, convenience, and all the necessities, due to a lack of inclusivity and far too many options that couldn’t support their needs.
HAB Sauce
I’ve always had a passion for cooking and have spent years experimenting with sauces. My diverse background has profoundly influenced my culinary adventures. My father, born in Indonesia, was of Dutch and Indonesian descent, while my mother was a Latina American from Los Angeles. Growing up, I was fortunate to experience a rich blend of flavors from both sides of my family. Now, I’m dedicated to recreating those childhood tastes and developing new recipes to share with my loved ones.
For Bitter For Worse
A whale-watching trip on the Salish Sea led to an obscure neurological malady with a fantastic French name…As a result of this health challenge, Shelley broke up with booze. She’s our Taste Maven. She drew from years of experience as a cocktail enthusiast to create her own nuanced non-alc recipes. Jeff’s our Reverse Bootlegger. He invented our patent-pending process and converted Shelley’s recipes to scalable formulas. For Bitter For Worse has been starting parties since 2020!
AVYN
Tired of boring, beige, and non-supportive maternity bras, we went to the drawing board and extracted elements of our favorite sports bras and incorporated them into OUR nursing bras. You will find feminine strappy backs, buttery soft fabric and moisture wicking power in every style. AVYN Bras will support and empower you to get after your goals, stay connected to your pre-baby self (because you would totally wear this bra even if you weren't breastfeeding), and seek adventure wherever it presents itself because you'll be ready. Dressed for success, as they say.
