The event is coming to Austin. Not physically, but maybe next year! On April 6, there will be a special episode on Austin startups and investors. It is free. If you register here, you will be able to ask the speakers questions, network with other attendees, and talk to the staff of TechCrunch at Hopin.
The episode is going to be great. The CEO of The Zebra will speak about the move to Austin, where it raised local capital and earned a place in the unicorn club. It's a great story, and it's also a great story for a lot of founders who are struggling to find footing and need to look at moving their company.
Morgan Flager of Silverton is with us on this episode. Austin's surging tech scene has been built by Flager, a long-time Austin-based investor.
But that isn't all!
Mary Ann Azevedo is a co-host of the Equity Podcast. We want to know where these investors are writing checks and the best way for a local startup to pitch their company. As investors talk about their strategies and best practices, this panel should be revealing.
We are still looking for a couple of startups to pitch at the event. If you are an early-stage startup based in the Austin region, apply here. The winner of the pitch off will be given exhibition space at the San Fransisco event.
April 6, 12:35 pm
The Zebra was an early transplant. Mark Cuban and Morgan Flager relocated to Austin after founding the company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After raising $40 million, the company brought on a new CEO and has grown to be one of the largest tech companies in Austin.
