Startup Casa 2025

​Join us at Startup Casa, the second annual gathering in Austin—adjacent to SXSW—dedicated to recognizing and showcasing the dynamic Latino startup ecosystem.

​Hosted by Inicio, in partnership with Google for Startups, this special day-long event offers a collaborative and festive space for meaningful connections and thought-provoking content. We invite Funders, Founders, Field Builders & Friends to spend the full day with like-minded innovators.

​Set in an outdoor venue in downtown Austin, this celebration features:

• ​An all-day pop-up Coffee Bar by Progeny

• ​An AI founder/investor/expert speed-dating session

• ​A Latina luncheon with a live podcast

• ​Three outstanding expert panels

• ​A CPG startup expo in a Mercado-like setting with games and activities

• ​The Inicio Icon Award ceremony

• ​An all-out "fiesta" with live music and a DJ to close the night

​Complimentary food & beverages will be available during portions of the day, with additional options for purchase.

​Join us to celebrate its impact, build connections, and help bridge the Latino and broader startup ecosystems for the benefit of all.
