The room your business has been missing.
New Horizon is a curated networking community for serious Greater Houston business owners, built on weekly lunches, warm introductions, and referrals that get followed through.
Every Wednesday · 11:45 AM – 1:15 PM · Spring Creek BBQ, League City, TX
Networking was broken
If you're a business owner in Greater Houston, your options have been thin. Big mixers where anyone with a ticket walks in and you leave with forty cards and zero follow-up. Rigid franchises with 7 AM meetings and attendance penalties. Or a Facebook group where your post gets buried in twenty minutes.
None of them do the one thing networking is for: putting you in a curated room of serious owners, on a consistent schedule, with structure that turns conversations into referrals.
So we built that room. A small per-event fee keeps the quality high, David reviews every application personally, and every meeting ends with a referral round, not a handshake and a hope.
A new horizon for Houston networking
A room designed for referrals
The curation, the agenda, the platform: every piece of New Horizon exists to turn showing up into real business.
Curated Membership
Every application is reviewed personally. The fee and the vetting keep the room full of serious owners instead of card-collectors.
A Weekly Rhythm
Every wednesday, 11:45 AM – 1:15 PM, over lunch at Spring Creek BBQ. Relationships compound when you show up consistently.
Referral Rounds
Every meeting ends with a structured referral round: give a lead, ask for one, and introductions get made on the spot.
Member Spotlights
One member goes deep on their business each week, so the whole room learns how to refer them well.
A Living Directory
A searchable member directory keeps you findable between meetings, with connections and messages included.
Real Accountability
Everyone leaves with a next step and someone to follow up with. Follow-through is the whole culture.
Run by people who show up
This isn't a franchise or a faceless directory. Two operators, one job: keep the room worth your Wednesday.
David McLain
David leads every meeting in person, reviews every application, and makes the introductions. This is his room, and he works it like one.
Kris Black
Kris builds and runs the member platform: the directory, events, ticketing, and everything that keeps the community working between Wednesdays.
"I'd rather have twenty owners who show up and refer each other than a room of two hundred who never follow up."
Four rules the room runs on
Give first
Referrals flow to people who lead with generosity.
Curate hard
One great member beats ten lukewarm ones.
Show up
Trust is built in reps, not in one-off mixers.
Stay local
Greater Houston owners, growing Greater Houston businesses.
