A peer advisory board for Austin owners who are done going it alone.
TAB Austin pairs a confidential CEO peer advisory board with 1-on-1 accountability support between meetings, built specifically for owners of $1M–$20M Austin companies who need a real board, not another podcast.
For owners who've never sat on one
What a peer advisory board actually is
Not a mastermind. Not group coaching. A working board for your business.
A peer advisory board is a small, confidential group of business owners, usually 8 to 12, who meet monthly to solve real problems in each other's companies. No consultants pitching a framework. No employees who need to agree with you. Just owners who've faced the same decisions you're facing now, sitting in a room where nobody has a stake in your business except wanting you to win. Each member brings a live issue, pricing, a hire, a partnership gone sideways, and the board works it the way a board of directors would at a Fortune 500 company, except everyone at the table is also running their own $1M to $20M business.
Not a mastermind
Masterminds trade ideas. A board makes decisions with you and checks whether you followed through.
Not group coaching
A coach teaches a framework. Your board members have already lived the problem you're facing.
A working board
Same function as a corporate board of directors, sized and priced for a $1M–$20M owner-run company.
Advice with nothing riding on it
Your spouse answers as someone who wants you home more. Your team answers as people who need direction from you. Your friend answers as someone who'd rather keep things easy. Board members answer as none of those things. They just want the problem solved, so you get the truth instead of the version that suits them.
What you actually get
No coaches, no theory. A monthly cadence built around your board and your Accountability Partner.
Monthly peer advisory group
8-12 non-competing Austin owners, confidential room.
Accountability Partner
1-on-1 between meetings, holds you to what you said you'd do.
Proprietary tools
StratPro and 35 years of refined frameworks.
Confidential by design
Non-competing industries, certified facilitator in every room.
The weight you carry
We understand. Because we've been there.
You don't need another podcast or LinkedIn guru. You need people who get it.
The 70-hour ceiling
You're the first one in, last one out, and the business stops moving when you do. The freedom you started this for is nowhere in sight.
The loneliness of the CEO
You can't tell your spouse, your team, or your friends what's actually keeping you up. The decisions only you can make are the heaviest.
The $10M Austin ceiling
Austin's economy is full of $1M-$10M companies that stalled. Scaling past it requires a different operating system, not just more effort.

Peer advisory boards & CEO coaching in Austin, TX
An alternative to Vistage, EOS/Traction, and going it alone.
Vistage alternative in Austin, TX
Like Vistage, TAB Austin combines a monthly CEO peer group with 1-on-1 private coaching. Unlike Vistage, we're purpose-built for owners of $1M–$20M small businesses, not Fortune 500 executives — and we're typically a fraction of the cost.
EOS / Traction alternative or complement
EOS and Traction install an internal operating system. TAB adds an outside peer board of fellow Austin owners plus a certified coach. Members run TAB alongside EOS, StratPro, or any operating cadence they already use.
CEO peer group in Austin, TX
We facilitate confidential peer boards of 8–12 non-competing Austin, TX business owners — a mastermind you'd never assemble on your own — and pair every member with a TAB-certified business coach.
Backed by 35+ years of TAB
TAB Austin is the Austin chapter of The Alternative Board, a global peer advisory network operating in 200+ cities across North America, Europe, and Australia since 1990.
