Initiatives
These are some initiatives I launched for the Texas startup and venture community. I love creating experiences and content at scale that helps the statewide innovation economy.
Since 2022 I’ve curated a very popular list of venture-focused events during SXSW here. We make it easy for entrepreneurs to see who is speaking or hosting events for startups, both official and unofficial.
Texas Venture Fest is the largest business event in the state with 15+ cities simultaneously. It features the ecosystem of startup support in 20+ venues, 40+ venture panelists, and 3,000 Texans. Sign up for 2026’s event here.
This signature experience gathers the state’s: venture capitalists, corporates, LPs, accelerators, incubators, family offices, angel networks, university innovation departments, and chambers & economic development corporations funds. Read more here.
I created resources around Texas Venture Legislation and Legislators, the most recently produced piece being the Texas Venture Voter Guide 2024. It spotlights elected officials in the Texas innovation community here.
Texas has an expansive and fast-growing landscape for the startup, venture, and business scene. View that and the state’s major city hubs as well as incredible stories of legacy here.
Use the Texas Venture Directory as a complimentary resource for startup founders and investors to get an overview of the statewide ecosystem of startup support.
