The Review Crew
Stay close to Austin’s business scene — a private community for readers who want more connection, more access, and more reasons to show up IRL.
$12 per month
Join The Review Crew — $12/moThe Austin Business Review is free because we believe great local business journalism should be easy to find. The Review Crew is for people who want to go a step further — to meet the founders we write about, show up to the events we host, and stay in the loop between newsletters.
For $12 a month, you get a seat in a private LinkedIn group, invitations to members-only gatherings, and discounts on paid events across the ABR ecosystem. It’s the easiest way to turn “I read the newsletter” into “I’m part of this community.”
What members get
01
Private LinkedIn Group
Connect with other Austin operators, swap recommendations, and join conversations you won’t find in the public feed.
02
Exclusive Events
Get invited to members-only meetups, previews, and gatherings built for people who follow Austin business closely.
03
Discounts on Paid Events
Save on workshops, classes, and ticketed events across The Austin Business Review — including programs like Newsletter Foundations.
Why $12?
The Review Crew is designed to be low-friction — a small monthly commitment that keeps the group active and the events worth showing up for. You’re not paying for a massive content library. You’re paying for access: to people, to rooms, and to the parts of Austin business that don’t make it into every edition.
If you want deeper coaching, accountability, and expert access, check out The Insights Network. If you want a simple way to belong, this is it.
About your instructor…
My name’s Ethan Brooks. I’m the owner of The Austin Business Review. I’ve been building content and communities for business owners for years.
Prior to ABR, I was the first content & community hire at Hampton, and before that, I spent years writing at The Hustle, one of the biggest newsletter companies in the US. While there, part of my job was to research and write this book on how newsletter companies work and I've been hooked ever since. Newsletters and business are my obsessions, plain and simple.
