Our story
In 2018, it was predicted that half of working adults would have multiple income streams by 2028. That number has already hit 48%. Portfolio careers aren’t new, but they’re accelerating faster than anticipated.
Since lockdown, millions have left traditional employment, choosing the flexibility and higher earnings of portfolio work. But that transition has created new problems – a lack of belonging, less career support and uncertainty around finding work – risking loneliness and confusion.
So we built a community. We started with 100 Founding Members getting to know each other through programmes and events. We shared ideas, learned together and collaborated. We then told our friends, who told their friends and so on. This has led to the smart, diverse, friendly tribe of 14,000+ portfolio professionals that make up The Portfolio Collective (TPC) today.
