Founding Texas’ Sister Signature Events in Venture

We’re Texas. We can’t do small. We MUST be big. Think big. Do big. Be big.

The Texas Venture Gala & Forum and the Texas Venture Fest are sister signature events six months apart, that honor the vision of a collaborative and unified state to amplify the ecosystem of startup support.

Texas Venture Fest, is the only truly Texas-sized experience of venture programming and networking, held in 19 venues, across 13 cities, and for nearly 3,000 Texans... simultaneously. Fest 2025 will include: Austin, Buda, College Station, East Texas, El Paso, Houston, Kerrville, North Texas, Pflugerville, Rio Grande Valley, Round Rock, San Antonio, Mexico City, Mexico & Mars 🚀 ​

Six months from the Fest, the Texas Venture Gala & Forum occurs where we gather those co-hosts under one roof again, and recognize Texas Excellence, share notes, make new friends, see old ones... and have one heck of a dinner together.

How privileged and grateful we’ve been to partner with such impressive Texan leadership for both of those events. And some folks we get to work with for the Gala & Forum, were so generously also sponsors, speakers, and volunteers of the Texas Venture Fest in their region.

Lastly, why do we do this? It’s all part of our mission to amplify the ecosystem of startup support.
