This Skool community is closing, moving to...

I came across a different community that feels very LinkedIn-ish, which is where 90% of my founder and investor connections have come. It's called Networked (https://nco.page.link/sWC8), and it may feel to you like a comfortable drawing room off the living room that is LinkedIn.

We are looking for founders of venture-scale companies. That's who our network of investors and allied professionals is also seeking.

Next week I'll be at Venture Dallas, after being at closed investor events this Thursday night and Friday in Austin. Next month there will be a flurry of venture activity in neighboring Fort Worth, culminating with Techstars Physical Health Fort Worth demo day in early December.

Here in the Hill Country, we are building a regional accelerator to launch in late 2025 and focusing on these sectors:

Aviation
Aerospace/defense
Agritech/agribusiness
Aquaculture/viticulture
Automotive
Energy
Supply chain related to above

We are raising a $10M fund to invest $100k into as many as 100 early-stage companies, which will go through a similar competitive application process to other accelerators. If within a year of graduating the program a company commercializes, it is eligible to apply to a second fund that will award 5-10 Seed stage investments of up to $1M. We are partnering with the county's Economic Development Corporation to offer incentives to the best companies in these sectors, hoping they will go through the accelerator, commercialize and stay local to create jobs and grow for years to come.
