We’re especially committed to supporting underrepresented founders and investors in tech—this is a space for genuine connections, not just another networking event.

📍 Location: Austin, Texas
🗓 Date: Sunday, March 9th
⏰ Time: 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM
Whether you're a founder refining your go-to-market strategy or an investor seeking top-tier early-stage deal flow, this event is built for real conversations and real connections.
