Last month the Capital Coalition continued its nationwide rollout with a launch event in Austin, TX. Partnering with the Capital Factory -- dubbed the “The Center of Gravity for Entrepreneurs in Texas” -- we hosted investors and entrepreneurs for a discussion on the Austin ecosystem and how venture capitalists, accelerators, incubators, and angel investors can help make public policy better for startups. We were grateful to be joined by investors from the likes of Wild Basin Investments and the Central Texas Angel Network, as well as civic organizations working to build the Austin ecosystem like the Austin Tech Alliance.
