Hi there! Thank you for checking out the Palo Alto chapter of Polka Dot Powerhouse! 

Whether you are a small business owner or solopreneur, pivoting into something new or just looking to meet awesome women in the area, you will find what you are looking for at the Palo Alto Chapter. Our members are wonderful and supportive and kind and fierce and collaborative and fun! We are here for each other professionally AND personally -- and, we'd love to meet you!

Our monthly meetings include time to socialize and connect, as well as a more structured agenda to ensure that those who find mingling difficult have the space to share and connect. We never limit the number of representatives from any industry because we believe in abundance. We also do not enforce any sort of attendance or have any sort of referral tracking. Rather, we are confident that you will feel so connected to the women around you that you will want to support one another without these restrictions. We are not just about networking -- we are about truly connecting!

Empowered Women Empower Women!!

Membership includes the ability to float and visit every chapter in the Bay Area and across the country! As a member you also have access to our giant Facebook private group where you can request connections and discuss your business with women all over North America (and the UK)!

Our monthly meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of every month, 11:30am - 1:30pm at Michaels Restaurant in Shoreline Park, Mountain View. Parking is easy. Lunch is $34 per person, all of which goes to Michales for food, our private meeting space, and staff. You can order directly from the menu, so credit cards are accepted.

We also have monthly socials, where we hang out and do something fun around the Bay Area, from hiking, to mini-golf, to tea parties, etc. Got an idea? Join us and you can lead a social event.

Check out our upcoming meetings below. We look forward to seeing you soon!
