History
Untyed was started in November 2009 in Dallas, Texas. Since that time we have held over 300 events of which the first 200 were spent on fine tuning our program. As of April, 2012 over 5000 business leaders, with an average of 16 per event, have attended.
Untyed attracts the very best by creating an environment of trust. We do not allow sales presentations and our speakers deliver the very best programs on current business practices that send our members away with something they can use to make their personal and/or professional lives better.
We are often asked why we don’t act like other networking groups and allow attendees to deliver a 30 second commercial – because we are not like all of the others. We believe that relationships are built by shaking hands and getting to know one another. Our events are usually attended by 25 members or less and allow time for everyone to meet.
With the number of events completed over the past three years we believe we have landed on a successful model by listening to the many things our members wished they could find and have indeed found with Untyed. We have numerous testimonials but believe you have to visit and feel the real difference to see if Untyed is right for you and you are right for Untyed.
Founders
Brenda and Tyler Pierson began Untyed out of total frustration for the “networking scene”. As a hiring manager Tyler would find himself in the same situation as other business leaders at typical events. Most everyone attending was selling and few if any were buying!
Sole proprietors, multi-level marketers and sales people are some of the most hardworking individuals that help drive this economy but do not have to deal with the many issues those responsible for employees must handle daily. Therefore we have qualifications for membership.
Untyed is not supported by dues and therefore does need to rely on membership for our success. Our success relies solely on the value that members gain and sponsors support.
Brenda handles the finances of the Untyed operation and Tyler handles the public relations side. With the help of awesome sponsors that have supported Untyed in the building of a unique model Untyed has emerged as a sought after event for business leaders in Dallas/Fort Worth and Austin communities.
We thank each of our sponsors and ask that our members, when possible, thank and support them as well.
We also wish to thank our speakers who prepare and deliver spot on messages that send our attendees away with a few nuggets to improve their lives.
Please take a moment to visit our speakers and sponsors websites, which you will find on this site, to see if there is anything you can do to provide value to them for their commitment to you and your Untyed experience.
Mission of Untyed
Untyed will create an environment where qualified business leaders can build relationships based on giving first and often thus improving the members’ personal and professional lives.
