Join the Rockport Pressroom

Most people out here are building something alone. At a kitchen table, in a shop, in a spare room, figuring it out as they go and wondering if they're the only one. You're not the only one. You just haven't had a room.

The Rockport Pressroom is a membership community for the people building the Coastal Bend, at every stage. When you join, you're not renting a desk or buying a punch card. You're joining a room full of other builders who will introduce you to your next client, answer the thing you're stuck on, and pull you forward when you can't see the next step. That's the whole thing. That's what you're joining.

Here's what comes with being a Pressroom Member.

The people. This is the point. You become part of a community of entrepreneurs, founders, and owners from all over the Coastal Bend, people who get it because they're doing it too. You stop building alone the day you join.

The events. You get into every Pressroom networking event, including the members-only nights the public never sees. The Masthead Mixer is where the whole community meets. Deadline Drinks and The Front Page are just for members, because some rooms are for the people who are actually in it.

The community, online. Membership gets you into the Coastal Bend Founders group, our private online community where the room lives every day between events. Stuck at nine at night? Post it. Need an introduction, a recommendation, a gut check? The community's right there.

Your business, found. Every member gets a listing in the Pressroom Member Directory, and we put real marketing behind driving people to it. Your business gets found because you're a member, working for you even when you're not thinking about it.

The workshops. Business Clarity Lab workshops help you get clear on what business you're actually in and what to do about it. Members get a discount on every one, and first access to the seats, which matters, because they're small and they fill.

The magazine. The upcoming Coastal Bend Founder will be the region's business magazine, telling the stories of the people building here. Members get discounted advertising and a direct line to pitch their own story. (coming soon)

The coffee. 15% off at Rockport Daily Grind, where they brew our own Rockport Coffee Company blend. The same blend you'll be drinking in the room.

Founding Member status. Join early and you lock it in, your rate and your place in this, for good. There's only ever one founding class, and in a year you'll either be part of it or you'll wish you were.
