About Pollen
Pollen is a professional development membership for independent consultants. We help independents build successful and durable businesses through educational sprints, access to experts in residence, a vetted community and a toolkit of practical resources.
Working for yourself is the new goal for many of us – to have the ability to capture more of the value from your efforts, and to define the way work fits into your life, not the other way around. Over 50% of Americans freelanced in 2023, and that number continues to grow.
Independence is the future of work and Pollen services as the essential community and information infrastructure for this new wave of entrepreneurship.
