An Evening of Conversation, Creativity & Community
Join us for the very first Prosper XO Town Hall & Meet-Up: an evening dedicated to redefining the future of music, tech, and artist empowerment.
Expect bold conversations, good people, yummy food and drinks and a chance to shape what comes next.
At Prosper XO, we believe music can still be a source of liberation, not just for listeners, but for the creators who shape culture every day.
We're not just building tech.
We're building a movement.
A movement rooted in justice, transparency, and sustainability for artists everywhere.
Our Mission: To see artists paid, protected, understood, and empowered.

Important Info for First-Time Visitors to Capital Factory:
• Location: Capital Factory is located in the OMNI building at the corner of 7th Street and Brazos St. The building has entrances on 7th St, Brazos St, and 8th St you can enter from any of them. Don’t be surprised to see a hotel lobby inside; that’s part of the building.
• Navigating the Elevators: The elevator system can be tricky the first time.
Each elevator is labeled with a letter (A–F) above the door.
There are touch panels in the lobby where you select your floor.
Once you choose your floor, the screen will assign you to an elevator (e.g., “Go to Elevator C”).
Just head to the assigned elevator, ride up, and you’ll arrive on the selected floor no need to press anything inside.
• Arrival Time: Feel free to come and go as needed during the event. We know schedules can be busy, and we’re just glad to have you join whenever you’re able.
• Need help? Don’t hesitate to ask someone at any front desk in the building they’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.
