Since
most of the potential investors work on the west coast or east coast, a Texas
entrepreneur must travel extensively to meet them. Two week travels up and down the coasts is a
common part of most entrepreneurs spring and fall calendar. The Texas Venture Growth Forum brings the
investors to Texas for two days of 1:1 sessions saving time and travel for all
involved. Here are some quotes from the
event participants:
Erik
Huddleston, Trendkite, “The Texas Venture Growth Forum gave me the opportunity
to meet new investors.”
Panos of
Seismos, “I was able to meet many investors without having to travel
extensively.”
Alan
Knitowski, Phunware, “It was great seeing West Coast investors in Austin.”
Valuations
in startups on the West Coast and East Coast have hit all time highs.
Pre-revenue companies with a product barely working are receiving high
valuations by investors seeking the next big hit. Texas trails the coasts
in valuations and so investors come to find deals at more reasonable prices.
