About us
Austin RAW Conversations is a monthly gathering for folks building and backing early-stage companies who value clear thinking over polished narratives.
Organized by Arturo, RAW Conversations is a room designed for honest dialogue about what it actually takes to build, invest, and decide early, before outcomes are obvious and before stories get cleaned up.
Each session follows a simple structure with a rotating interactive ritual. Everyone in the room participates by listening closely, reacting in real time, and shaping the conversation together.

You Built It. Now What?
701 Brazos St, 701 Brazos Street, Austin, TX, USAustin RAW Conversations is a monthly meetup hosted by Arturo for founders, investors, and operators building and backing early-stage tech companies.
This April's session focuses on distribution.
You’ve built something. People are using it. Maybe it’s even growing.
But how is it actually reaching users? Where are they coming from? Why did they convert? And what part of that can reliably happen again?
This conversation will focus on the path between what you’ve built and how it consistently reaches the right people.
We’ll break down how early traction actually forms, where it holds, and where it falls apart.
The session will be interactive. Participation is encouraged.
