Emerge and Rise, Inc

We’re out here in Austin at SXSW —because community isn’t built behind a desk. Last night’s Impact Ventures mixer reminded us exactly why we do what we do. Connecting, sharing ideas, and opening doors for each other. It was great partnering with Tunji and his Dallas team, who share our passion for supporting diverse entrepreneurs and innovators. And even The AI Cowboys showed to support us! Moments like these remind us: real impact starts with showing up. Thanks for hosting us, Impact Ventures—let’s keep growing this together. #EmergeAndRise #SXSW #ImpactHouse #community #collaboration #EcosystemBuilding #MakingMoves

Last night, we opened our doors for the very first time. Emerge and Rise welcomed an incredible group of founders, partners, and supporters into our new community space—and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick things off. We were honored to host our partners, Founder Institute Texas - San Antonio Chapter , as they brought together entrepreneurs, mentors, and innovators for Founder Night Out. The energy in the room was electric, with new connections being made, ideas exchanged, and a shared excitement for what’s ahead. To everyone who came out—thank you. This space is for you—for founders, dreamers, and changemakers in San Antonio looking to grow, collaborate, and build something bigger than themselves. This is just the beginning. Let’s keep creating together. ?? #EmergeAndRise #FISanAntonio #FounderInstitute #StartupCommunity #SanAntonioEntrepreneurs #Innovation #Collaboration
