Spokane & Inland Northwest
The infrastructure women have been building toward.
HIKE with Her is not a networking group. It is connective tissue — a searchable directory, research-driven community, and capital pathways for every woman in the workforce. Entrepreneurs, employees, executives, caregivers, and stay-at-home moms, too.
Spokane & Inland Northwest
The infrastructure women have been building toward.
HIKE with Her is not a networking group. It is connective tissue — a searchable directory, research-driven community, and capital pathways for every woman in the workforce. Entrepreneurs, employees, executives, caregivers, and stay-at-home moms, too.
01 — HIKE Directory
Directory
ResOURCES and Representation
A searchable index of women-led businesses and professionals across the Inland Northwest. Get found. Refer with confidence. Build the kind of network that actually moves money to women.
02 —HIKE Community
Community
real Conversations and connection
Not another surface-level mixer. HIKE programming goes deeper — research-informed conversations, systems-level thinking, and intentional structure designed to reduce burnout and build real relationships.
03 — HIKE Capital
Capital
Financial Pathways and Legacy Opportunities
Access to grants, loans, scholarships, and growth tools — curated for women who have been navigating a system not designed for them. Strategic partnerships, funding navigation, and resource-sharing.
What makes us different
We're not here to compete. We're here to build the infrastructure.
On depth
We go deeper than networking.
HIKE programming is research-backed and systems-focused. We examine the structures women navigate — male-designed systems, resource hoarding, emotional labor — and build better ones together. Because surface-level connections don't create lasting change.
On Access
Digital first. Meet people where they are.
Not everyone can make it to a Thursday evening event. HIKE is built to be accessible — virtual programming, a searchable directory available 24/7, and community tools that work for a working mom's schedule as much as a CEO's.
On Who Belongs Here
The full workforce. Not just entrepreneurs.
Business owners, employees, executives, caregivers, stay-at-home parents — the workforce is all of them. So is HIKE. We refuse to serve a curated sliver of women while the rest of the ecosystem goes unsupported.
On Representation
Diversity is the design, not a checkbox.
We're done with curated environments that don't reflect the actual diversity of Spokane and the Inland Northwest. HIKE is built for — and with — the women who have been left out of the room. Matriarchy first. Resource-sharing, not hoarding.
Who belongs here
Everyone in the workforce.
🏗
Business Owners & Founders
Get visible, get referred, and build the network that moves real dollars to your business.

Executives & Org Leaders
Cross-sector connection, research-informed programming, and a network serious about regional economic impact.
HIKE is for women, women-identifying, and femme-presenting individuals across every industry, career stage, and life situation. Allies are welcome when aligned with the mission. We are intentionally building a diverse and representative community — because Spokane is diverse, and our networks should reflect that.

Real community. Real moments.
HIKE is not curated. We're having raw conversations.
Bi-Monthly · In-Person
HIKE Happy Hour Tour
Authentic connection in a low-pressure format. No sales pitches. No scripted networking. Just women in real conversation — and the leads that come naturally from it. Each tour stops at a different women-owned venue.
Monthly · Virtual
Pajama Party Virtual Networking
Once a month. Virtual. No agenda. No performance. No networking energy. Just women showing up as they actually are — in their pajamas, in their kitchens, in five minutes of quiet they carved out of a full day.
Quarterly · In-Person
HIKE Lab Speaker Series
A research-backed virtual lab for women navigating male-designed systems. In each session, we examine a different dimension of professional and personal life and build practical tools for navigating it.
Real results
Women who didn't climb alone.
"I posted my Spark program in the HIKE Directory — it's a significant investment, so I honestly wasn't expecting much. But someone enrolled after finding me through HIKE. It's working."
Brandy Ferrer
CEO & Founder, Pathfinder Strategies
"What stood out at HIKE Happy Hour was the energy. It wasn't sales-driven, and it didn't feel like the typical networking environment. The conversations were authentic, and I left with multiple leads that came naturally through connection."
