Ready to meet Houston’s top investors? Curious to understand how different types of investors assess startups? Join us at the Texas Venture Crawl – Houston edition! 

Texas Venture Crawl is a Texas-sized networking event held at the same time and on the same day, across 10+ cities and 17 venues across the state. 

In Houston, join us at the Ion for pre-panel networking, an engaging Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) investor panel, followed by a spirited happy hour for networking! Lite bites and happy hour drinks are sponsored by Honeycomb Software, Houston’s Top Dev Shop: Passionate about Crafting Custom Software for Startups. Panelists include Grace Chan, Principal at bp Ventures; Jason Ethier, Founder of Lambda Catalyzer; Blair Garrou, Managing Director at Mercury Fund; and Chris Howard, Founder of Softeq and General Partner of Softeq Venture Fund.  

Entrepreneurs: Ask your toughest questions and engage with a diverse panel of investors representing various fund models: traditional venture capital, venture studio, and corporate venture capital. 

Investors: Join us to strengthen Houston’s investor ecosystem, connect with startups, and explore ways to support the city’s budding founders. 

After the panel, hear brief announcements from several startup development organizations including Bayou City Startups, Bunker Labs, Texas Black Founders Network, and Rocket Network then let the conversation flow at Second Draught during our happy hour!
