Houston, TX Local Meet Up: Find Your Season. Build Your Future.

After celebrating 10 years of the Flourish Media Conference, we’re taking the energy on the road.

Flourish Media and Behind the Leaf are bringing our community together in cities across the country for Local Meet Ups — intimate gatherings designed to connect ambitious women entrepreneurs with resources, financial literacy programming, and each other.

At this meet up, you’ll:

✨ Connect with local women entrepreneurs

✨ Discover the Season of Growth your business is currently in

✨ Learn about Behind the Leaf’s financial literacy and investor readiness programs

✨ Explore opportunities to grow within the Flourish community

Before attending, we invite you to take the Seasons Quiz so we can help guide you toward the resources, connections, and opportunities that match your stage of growth.

This is more than networking.

It’s a place to plant the seeds for your next level.

Following the success of the 10th Anniversary Flourish Media Conference, where hundreds of women entrepreneurs gathered to share ideas, build partnerships, and explore funding opportunities, we’re bringing that same energy directly to local communities.

Introducing the Flourish Media Local Meet Up Series.

These gatherings are designed to help women entrepreneurs connect in person, build meaningful relationships, and access the financial education and support needed to grow sustainable businesses.

Hosted by Behind the Leaf, a nonprofit dedicated to helping women founders become investor-ready, each meetup will introduce attendees to the tools and programming that support long-term business growth.
