Events designed to connect executive women in Austin
How it works

DINE
Intimate dinners that spark real conversation. No small talk, no pitching — just honest connection over a beautiful meal.

DANCE
Nights out that remind you what it feels like to let loose. Music, movement, and the kind of fun that fills your cup.

DO
Curated experiences that push you out of your comfort zone — think workshops, adventures, and creative escapes.
What to expect
01 — Show up as you
Leave the elevator pitch at home. Kindred is about connecting as people first, professionals second.
02 — Small on purpose
Our events are intentionally intimate. Expect groups of 10–30, curated so you're always meeting someone new.
03 — Zero pressure
No memberships, no dues, no obligation. Come when it works, skip when it doesn't.
04 — All the good stuff
Great food, great drinks, great energy. We handle the details so you can just enjoy the evening.

Meet the founder
After leaving New York and founding the research and intelligence firm Current Forward, Lillian Brown wanted to connect with ambitious and experienced women in Austin. After looking around Lillian observed that there were many opportunities to provide mentorship to emerging leaders, but not many opportunities to truly connect with executive-level peers.
Kindred was created in order to provide tangible pathways for senior women to amplify their influence across Austin's booming business sectors.
