Our team had the opportunity to partner with the UTSA Small Business Development Center for a webinar on event marketing and small business growth. The session unpacked both the challenges and opportunities of using events as a marketing channel—recognizing that while events require significant planning and resources, they can deliver powerful outcomes when executed strategically.

It was inspiring to see such broad engagement, with attendees joining from four different time zones, and to connect with business owners eager to explore new ways of building brand equity and pipeline through live experiences. We’re grateful to our colleagues at UTSA SBDC for their continued leadership in equipping entrepreneurs with practical tools and knowledge to grow.

The SDMRamirez team spent the morning with Prosper West SA at their monthly Cafecito, this month hosted by the San Antonio Hope Center.

Located on the West Side, the Hope Center provides holistic support services that address the root causes of poverty, from food access and clothing to job training, counseling, and case management. Their dignity-first model helps individuals and families move from crisis to stability with long-term support and care.

It was a pleasure to connect with fellow West Side businesses and community leaders. We’re proud to support organizations like the SA Hope Center that are doing the deep, essential work to strengthen San Antonio’s communities.

This week, the SDM Ramirez team joined Socorro Counseling at the fourth annual Better Together gathering.

It was a great afternoon full of meaningful conversations—from building stronger civic engagement to hearing about ecosystem growth at Port San Antonio. We loved seeing familiar faces and connecting with folks who care deeply about our communities.

Big thanks to Robert, Lilly, and their family CPAguy for bringing everyone together. And extra appreciation for hosting it at Jaime’s Place on the West Side—it felt right at home.

This week, our founder delivered a plenary session on building music ecosystems through events and intentional design at a regional gathering hosted by Odessa Arts.

The session covered the event flywheel model and emphasized the importance of having a "fast follow" to sustain momentum after initial activations. Attendees engaged in meaningful discussions about building capacity across communities and shared creative, collaborative ideas for strengthening local music scenes while partnering with neighboring cities.

We are grateful to Odessa Arts for the invitation and for creating space for these critical conversations. SDM Ramirez is proud to support music ecosystem development at the civic, regional, and state-wide levels—and we look forward to future collaborations across Texas and beyond.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Workshop Wednesday: From Idea to Impact at Geekdom.

The room was full of energy, curiosity, and honest conversation—and we’re grateful we got to build that space together.

We explored what it really means to grow visibility without losing your voice. We unpacked the difference between true thought leadership and just chasing the mic. We talked about point of view as something deeper than credentials—something rooted in mission, tension, and truth.

If you left with a talk you’re ready to pitch, we hope you share it.
And if you’re looking for your next stage, San Antonio Startup Week is a great one. Calls for Speakers close on July 7.

Our founder had the pleasure of speaking at the Texas Association of Business Brokers' monthly luncheon in San Antonio this week.

The session focused on practical use cases for artificial intelligence, particularly in the business brokerage and deal flow spaces. From optimizing workflows to streamlining processes, there are countless ways brokers can leverage AI to work smarter and more efficiently.

Big thanks to TABB for the invitation, the engaged audience, and the stunning view from the Petroleum Club (not to mention a solid lunch).

We are currently booking speaking engagements through Q2 2026. If your organization is seeking a presenter on technology, artificial intelligence, or ecosystem development, we would be delighted to connect.

Thank you to the amazing crowd who showed up for our workshops in El Paso this weekend.

We learned a great deal about the genuine appetite for practical, creative, and community-driven content in this city. El Paso showed up with questions, ideas, and the kind of energy that makes this work worthwhile.

We’re already planning to return in July with more sessions. If there’s a specific workshop you’d love to see, let me know. We’re listening and excited to co-create what comes next. I’ll share more details once venues are confirmed.

Until then, remember this: creativity, like entrepreneurship, takes courage. Keep showing up. Keep doing the thing.
