Portfolio careers aren’t new, but they’re accelerating faster than anticipated
It was predicted that half of working adults would have multiple income streams by 2028. That number has already hit 48%.
Since 2020, millions have transitioned away from traditional employment, choosing the flexibility and higher earnings of portfolio work. But this change has created new problems – a lack of belonging, less professional support and uncertainty around finding work – resulting in an isolated and disconnected workforce.
So we built The Portfolio Collective (TPC), a space for portfolio professionals to learn together, support one another and inspire new opportunities. It started in early lockdown with 100 Founding Members collaborating, sharing ideas and recommending us to everyone they knew. Today, we’re 13k+ members strong and there’s no sign of that slowing down anytime soon.
