Oct 17: MassChallenge Texas Awards
The Forrest Four-Cast: October 13, 2019
The MassChallenge Awards Ceremonies are the grand finale of each MassChallenge accelerator program. This is when the top startups from each cohort are recognized by community leaders to a room full of potential investors and customers, MassChallenge mentors, VIP community leaders, and loved ones.
Witness all this energy and excitement on Thursday evening, October 17 at the “2019 MassChallenge Texas in Austin Awards Ceremony + Startup Experience.” The show begins at 6 pm and concludes at 9 pm. Venue is the Hilton Austin (500 East 4th Street). General admission tickets are available at $65 per person.
Guest speakers at this MassChallenge Texas event on October 17 include Whurley, the co-founder and General Partner at Ecliptic Capital plus the founder and CEO of Strangeworks, a quantum computing startup in Austin. Also speaking is Sara Brand, the Founding General Partner of True Wealth Ventures, an early-stage VC fund investing in women-led businesses in consumer health and sustainability sectors.
Finally, if all things entrepreneurism is your jam, then you will want to be part of the “Startups” track at SXSW 2020. Panels and presentations for this track will be revealed as part of the huge March Magic content announcement that is scheduled for Tuesday, October 22.
