The Membership
Admission is by invitation or application, with each candidate vetted by sitting members. Every introduction carries weight and every gathering remains intimate.
In an era of noisy networks and hollow connections, the Texas Business Council returns to first principles: a curated membership of consequential leaders who build, invest, and shape the Texas economy.
The Purpose
Members convene to exchange counsel, surface opportunities, and steward capital toward ventures that strengthen Texas enterprise. No keynotes. No sponsors. No spectators—only participants.
The Standard
We seek operators with demonstrated success: founders who have built, executives who have led, investors who have committed. Character and contribution matter as much as credentials.
"The deals that matter happen in rooms you cannot buy your way into."
