The Texas Venture Gala & Forum and the Texas Venture Fest are sister signature events six months apart, that honor the vision of a collaborative and unified state to amplify the ecosystem of startup support. Texas Venture Fest, coming up this Thursday, is the only truly Texas-sized experience of programming and networking, held in 19 venues, across 13 cities, and for nearly 3,000 Texans... simultaneously! Six months from now at the Texas Venture Gala & Forum 2025, we'll gather those co-hosts under one roof again, and recognize Texas Excellence, share notes, make new friends, see old ones... and have one heck of a dinner together. How privileged and grateful we are to work with such impressive Texan leadership. Here are the folks from the Gala & Forum who so generously were major sponsors, speakers, and volunteers earlier this year-- now also gearing up for a Texas Venture Fest in their region. Thank you for your collaboration once again, and have a wonderful event this week: Texas Association of Business (the Texas State Chamber of Commerce), Silverton Partners, LiveOak Ventures, S3 Ventures, Moneta Ventures, iFly.vc, Houston Angel Network, Builders + Backers, International Accelerator, IA Global Ventures, MediaTech Ventures, Tech Bloc, Founder Institute Texas, The Founders Arena, LSA Global HQ, Round Rock Chamber, Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation, The Red Fridge Society, and She Raises Capital.

Y’all know I completely “drop off the face of the earth” about a month before, and little after 😅, our sister signature events: Texas Venture Fest (formerly Texas Venture Crawl), Oct 3rd co-hosted simultaneously in nearly 20 locations now & the Texas Venture Gala & Forum, a big convening of those co-hosts + investors all together from across the state. This year I managed to somehow drop off the face of the earth.. and land on Mars! With Starbase Brewing as our new Official Beer of the Texas Venture Fest (so perfect as they’ll be the first beer on the Red Planet, and of course fleets of Texas rockets will be headed toward soon!). What an awesome new partner to help us ship two upcoming Texas-sized and really, intergalactic launches: 1) they’re supplying Texas Venture Fest’s all across our great big state with their space beer! 2) co-hosting the very first Texas Venture Fest: Mars Edition, THE spot on the Austin Edition where spacetech backers and builders will convene 🪐 🚀 ✨ Visit Starbase on Texas Venture Fest: Mars by registering and sharing with your space fanatics to meet you there next Thursday evening: https://lnkd.in/g2cRXb_K Stayed tuned for more Texas-sized Official Brand Partnerships by following the Texas Venture Fest page… it’s really going to blow your mind!!!

Last week, I had the opportunity to visit the Texas Association of Business office in Downtown Austin and attend an exclusive investor meetup focused on the Texas-Israel connection. Organized by Startup Nation Central, the Texas Venture Alliance, and the Texas Association of Business, this meetup dove into the current investment landscape and highlighted the compelling reasons to invest in Israel, one of the world’s top ten most innovative ecosystems. Emma (Mayana) Vardimon, Senior Director, Investors & Partnerships at Startup Nation Central, and Renana Ashkenazi, General Partner at Grove Ventures, shared what makes Israel an attractive investment opportunity, how to engage with Israel innovation, and how we can foster cross-border partnerships. I enjoyed networking with local and international investors, and am looking forward to staying up to date with Startup Nation Central’s initiatives!
