Every Zapprovian adds a unique perspective to our team and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
From volunteer events to company celebrations, Zapprovians care about each other and the community.
We love our LGBTQ+ community all year round and look forward to being a part of the PRIDE celebration every June.
Virtual celebrations, Halloween pet costume contests, passionate Slack channels, and virtual karaoke are just a few of the ways we stay connected when we can’t be together in person.
Our chic Slabtown headquarters is LEED Gold Certified and we run a green office so we can be proud of the space we work in.

PDXWIT Presents LGBTQ+ in Tech: Love Will Bring us Together
PRIDE is every day and we want you to join PDXWIT as we come together to celebrate how love will keep us together!

Community leader’s Crystal Sincoff, Zapproved, and Hazel Valdez, OBI (Oregon Bioscience Incubator), will be co-facilitating a conversation with Salome Chimuku, DeAngelo Krane, and Katy Byrtus in this panel.
Voices of Equity: Gender Identity & Pronouns – One Nonbinary Story
You’re invited to join Zapproved & Cinder for a conversation with Liana Avendano on gender identity & pronouns.
Gender is a social construct and gender identity is deeply personal, but what does that even mean? How can a person simultaneously feel all the genders at once and no gender at all? What is the difference between gender identity and gender expression?
Discover the way Liana has experienced being non-binary, what it took for them to get there, and how they find joy in their expression.
