Break out of the VC Matrix in 2024
The Female Founders Lab has teamed up with Anti-VC to bring you an event that will transform the way that you are coded.
In your mind. In your pitch. In your identity.
We invite you, dear founder and startup community member, to an experiential journey through a portal into a redefined 2024.
Gone will be the days of self doubt, limiting beliefs and constantly seeking external validation.
Join us as we break out of the VC matrix and become the empowered leaders we are meant to be. All you have to do is take the red pill (and RSVP)
Dress code: black / urban / bling
***RSVP for exact location. DOORS WILL CLOSE AT 5:50. ***
Agenda
5:30 initiation (delicious bites and non-alcoholic drinks)
6:00 connection (speed networking)
6:15 journeying (opening the portal to a new 2024)
6:25 downloading (what's holding you back?)

7:15 emergence (stepping through the portal and embracing your new paradigm)
🅿️ Parking

Street parking is available and there are multiple external parking garages available.
Capital Factory offers parking validations for attendees parking in the Omni Austin Hotel. The entrance is on 7th Street and Brazos Street (there is a Capital Factory sign at the entrance). As long as you enter after 5pm and leave before 10pm your parking is reduced to $8.
