Austin, Texas · Wednesday evenings
Built by founders, for founders.
We are a tribe of Christian entrepreneurs based in Austin, Texas who gather every week, alternating between Bee Cave and Downtown, to unpack the real challenges of business, leadership, faith, and family.
Who we are
More than a meeting. A room where you belong.
The Founders Forum is a weekly, in-person gathering for Christian founders in Austin who built a business from the ground up. We rotate between two rooms: Bee Cave one week, Downtown the next. Whether your business is just starting or well established, this is your place to share openly, learn from peers, and support one another.
We exist because building a company can be lonely. Here you're surrounded by people who get it. The late nights, the hard decisions, the weight of responsibility, and the joy of creating something that matters.

What we do
Gather. Unpack. Encourage.
Every week we come together as a tribe to share a meal, open up about the real challenges we face, and encourage one another through it all.
Business
Sharper decisions
Hiring, cash flow, the pivot. Work it through with people who've been there.
Leadership
Lead with clarity
You set the tone for everyone else. Sharpen it alongside peers who lead too.
Faith
Build your character
Strengthen who you are on the inside and grow closer to Jesus.
Family
Your whole life
Relationships, kids, health. The company is not the only thing you're building.
How it works
Simple. Authentic. Nourishing.

We encourage
Nobody leaves empty-handed. We pour into each other with wisdom, prayer, practical advice, and the reminder that you're not alone.
"Every founder I know is good at looking fine. This is the one room where I don't have to. I show up with a side dish and the real stuff, and I leave lighter every time."
"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
