- jamiequint 19y agomove? or fly and visit? There is no lack of networking events in SV.
- jsjenkins168 19y agoAs I'm sure you've noticed, Austin investors are too conservative anyway :(. VC money is still dried up post-bubble except for Austin Ventures and supposedly they are starting to move away from higher risk investments too. You might try to meet some angels through the Central Texas Angel network events around Austin. CTAN probably wont look at you unless you have solid revenue (conservative bunch), but you might be able to convince an angel to seed fund you privately.
- sarosh 19y agoAn asymmetric attack you may wish to consider is to talk to the larger law firms who represent VC/PE firms. Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P. on Congress (downtown Austin) is very well connected and could point you in the right direction. Alternatively, go to a http://www.bootstrapaustin.org/ http://www.bootstrapaustin.org/ event and see what other entrepreneurs suggest. Austin is an amazing city.
- tx 19y agoWoow. Yet another local resource I had no clue about. Thanks a lot.
- sarosh 19y agoThere are lots of 'niche' resources in Austin and you have to do a lot of legwork to get to them. Additionally, if you (or any of your founders) are alumni of the University of Texas, the networking events at the MBA school are valuable.
