# Interested in meeting local Black businesses? Follow along throughout Black History Month

It’s become a bit of a tradition around here. And it’s a great way to encounter new businesses and founders in our community. It’s the annual “one founder each day” campaign that Stephen Green and Built Oregon put together every February as part of Black History Month. And you’re encouraged to follow along.

Stephen’s content will be [on LinkedIn on a daily basis](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-green-6968b119/):

Built Oregon will be primarily using [Instagram](https://instagram.com/builtoregon):

I’d encourage you to follow along, day to day. And to like, share, and hype all of these amazing founders.

But if you miss a couple, don’t fret. My part of the tradition is recapping the entire month so you always have a reference point. For previous years, see:
