Welcome to “Software Day at the Ion” – a program series hosted by the Ion and Mercury, where software founders can connect with mentorship at Houston’s HQ for innovation.
What is it: Software Day is a monthly series driving the support, inspiration, and connections needed to help startups on their path to rapid, sustainable growth.
Join us as we bring together leading mentors, promising startups, and like-minded Houstonians focused on transformative software innovations.

Prior to the fireside chat, a select group of early-stage software startups will participate in office hours. Over the course of 2-hours, first-time entrepreneurs looking for guidance or seasoned founders needing help tackling tough challenges will have access to a group of curated mentors from the Mercury network and gain insights and guidance tailored to their needs. Startups are invited to apply to participate here.
The panel topic will feature James Benham and Sid Upadhyay moderated by Heath Butler discussing “From Zero to Hero: How to Bootstrap your Startup to Success.” A networking happy hour to follow at Second Draught, brought to you by Gunderson Dettmer.
