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.
