Does Texas count as 'flyover'?
How about weapons based start-ups?
There are a fair few micro-armories that do firearm based products out of TX. Investors would be mindful to watch out for them. Remember that gun with the gyrometers that would turn you into a sniper? Or the 3-D printed guns? Or the 'smart' guns? You may/not be making the world a better place, but you will change it.
- longerthoughts 9y agoEnergy is the more likely candidate for large-scale startup growth in TX than weapons based start-ups. The energy industry has obviously been important to TX for a long time, but the state of the oil industry creates a gap for new players to fill, either by 1) further automation in the oil industry to improve margins in the face of low oil prices, or 2) embracing the rise of renewable energy tech in a state that has incredibly high renewable potential (solar, wind) and demonstrated investment.
