What This Nomination Means to Us
Since launching DallasMeetup, our mission has been simple: build community, spark connections, and support the everyday innovators, founders, creators, and professionals who are writing the next chapter of Dallas’s story. From our first event to dynamic mixers across industries, including Venture Capital, Commercial Real Estate, HealthTech, CPG, and more, we’ve always believed that great things happen when great people meet.
To be nominated as an Ecosystem Builder is more than an honor, it’s validation that the work we’re doing is lifting others up, forging meaningful connections, and making an impact that matters.
Thank You to Our Community 🤝
This nomination wouldn’t be possible without:
Our incredible networkers and attendees
Sponsors and partners who believe in community-first growth
Speakers, collaborators, and thought leaders who share their expertise
Every person who showed up, made a connection, or invited a friend
This recognition is as much yours as it is ours.
What’s Next?
We’ll be cheering loudly at the State of Entrepreneurship Awards on January 29, but regardless of who takes home the title, we’ll continue doing what we do best: building community that creates opportunity.
Stay tuned — and thank you for believing in DallasMeetup! 🙌
