DallasMeetup Partners with North Texas Disability Chamber
DallasMeetup Announces Strategic Partnership with the North Texas Disability Chamber
DallasMeetup is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with the North Texas Disability Chamber, further expanding our commitment to building the most inclusive, representative, and opportunity-driven networking platform in the DFW region.
As Dallas continues its rise as a national hub for entrepreneurship, finance, healthcare, commercial real estate, and emerging technology, it is critical that growth includes everyone. This partnership ensures that disability-owned businesses, professionals with disabilities, and inclusive employers have a stronger voice and greater access to the DallasMeetup ecosystem.
“This partnership between the North Texas Disability Chamber and DallasMeetup represents a powerful step toward building stronger connections, expanding opportunities, and creating spaces where inclusion thrives. Together, we are cultivating a future where community, collaboration, and belonging fuel innovation and unlock potential for all.”
NTXDCC President & CEO Dylan Rafaty, NTXDCC Executive Board Member Vahid Behzadi and Francis Ufomadu of Way to Work Productions
Why This Partnership Matters
At DallasMeetup, we’ve built a reputation as the #1 large-scale quarterly networking mixer in Dallas, bringing together founders, executives, operators, investors, and civic leaders across industries.
Partnering with the North Texas Disability Chamber reinforces three key priorities:
1. Expanding Economic Inclusion
The disability community represents one of the largest underchampioned business segments in the country. By partnering with the Chamber, DallasMeetup will actively support:
Disability-owned businesses
Inclusive hiring initiatives
Supplier diversity opportunities
Accessible entrepreneurship
2. Elevating Representation at Scale
With 1,000+ attendees at many of our cohort-driven events, DallasMeetup offers a high-visibility platform. Through this collaboration, we will:
Spotlight Disability Chamber members as Featured Networkers
Highlight disability-led ventures in blog and social content
Create intentional introductions across industries
3. Driving Real Business Outcomes
This isn’t symbolic — it’s operational.
DallasMeetup will work alongside the Chamber to:
Promote members across our LinkedIn and email ecosystem
Facilitate B2B introductions
Integrate disability-owned vendors into event sponsorship and activation opportunities
What This Means for the DFW Business Community
Dallas is rapidly expanding its national profile — from financial innovation to healthcare leadership to commercial real estate development. True economic strength, however, is built on broad participation.
The North Texas Disability Chamber brings expertise, advocacy, and a powerful member base that strengthens the entire regional business ecosystem.
Together, DallasMeetup and the Chamber will:
Foster accessible networking environments
Promote inclusive business best practices
Create cross-sector introductions
Expand opportunity pipelines
A Shared Vision
DallasMeetup has always operated as a “big tent” platform — connecting healthcare innovators, fintech founders, CRE executives, startup operators, professional sports leaders, and civic stakeholders under one roof.
By partnering with the North Texas Disability Chamber, we are expanding that tent — intentionally.
Because the future of Dallas business leadership must be:
Inclusive
Representative
Growth-oriented
Opportunity-driven
Join Us
We invite Chamber members, corporate partners, founders, and community leaders to attend upcoming DallasMeetup cohorts and experience this collaboration firsthand.
