ABOUT TEXAS VENTURE FEST: The Lone Star State shouldn't have lone star founders. The Texas Venture Fest is the only truly "Texas-sized" day highlighting the ecosystem of startup support. More than 10 cities simultaneously host this statewide phenomenon, co-creating what is a record-breaking event for the country and proud moment for the state. Across our nation's biggest metropolis as well as small towns, 3,000+ Texans rally to see innovation flourish. When Texas thinks and acts as big as we are and in one concerted effort, it's our entrepreneurs (our states best problem solvers) who stand to benefit.
