About the Council

In the spring of 2026, a small group of Texas entrepreneurs gathered in a private dining room in Austin. What began as an informal dinner became the genesis of something more enduring.

Each founder present had built substantial enterprises. Each had grown weary of networking events that promised connection but delivered only business cards. They sought something different—a fellowship of equals who could speak candidly, share openly, and support genuinely.

From that first dinner, the Texas Business Council was born. Within six months, chapters had formed in Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio. The model remained constant: small gatherings, serious people, substantive conversation.

We believe that business at its best is a collaborative endeavor. The lone genius is a myth; every consequential enterprise is built by teams, supported by advisors, and strengthened by community.

The Council exists to provide that community—not through superficial networking, but through genuine relationship. Our members invest in one another's success. They share deal flow, provide counsel, and open doors that would otherwise remain closed.

We are deliberate about growth. We could accept ten times our current membership. We choose not to. Quality of connection matters more than quantity of contacts. Every member should know every other member by name and reputation.
