That's a Wrap at SXSW 2025

That's a Wrap at SXSW 2025

Wrapping up on an incredible SXSW 2025!

The team and I at Cake had the chance to bring together some really dope founders, investors, and people who support the ecosystem at two amazing events:

  • 🍸 Austin Tech Happy Hour (3/8) – Hosted alongside Bridge Bank and Pilot.com
  • ☕ Founder & Investor Breakfast (3/9) – In partnership with Forum Ventures, Drive Capital, Capitalize VC, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, and Microsoft for Startups

Key Takeaways:

  • Founders are hungry for clarity on equity and fundraising mechanics.
  • Investors are doubling down on capital efficiency and sustainable growth.
  • Community still wins—founders who surround themselves with the right people move faster.
