AI Collective x Augment x Tirios | AI Startups in Private Markets
How do you get in early on the next wave of AI startups—before they go public? And what really goes on behind the scenes in private markets? Join us for a relaxed, high-signal happy hour with some of Austin’s top investors, founders, and operators at the intersection of AI, real estate, and secondary markets.
The evening will feature plenty of time to mingle over drinks, alongside a casual AMA-style fireside where guests will unpack how they evaluate risk, navigate illiquidity, and spot opportunity in an increasingly complex investing landscape. The conversation will be short, sharp, and shaped by the audience. Whether you're a seasoned investor, builder, or just curious about the private tech frontier, this night is built for both connection and insight.
