Austin Tech Week is in full swing, and we were thrilled to participate in the panel on The Startup & VC Landscape of Texas! When asked for advice for founders seeking funding, Krishna Srinivasan shared key insights into LiveOak’s investment approach: “In Fund 3, we have invested about one-third of companies at pre-revenue, one-third under $1M, and one-third over $1M. The companies we have backed at the pre-revenue stage have founders who have leveraged their deep domain expertise. The ones with revenues show evidence of strong customer engagement and excitement. So ask yourself: which category do you fall into?" We're looking forward to more great conversations and connections during Austin Tech Week!

This financing round is a testament to the company’s exceptional progress to date and will enable SchooLinks to capitalize further on widespread interest in the CCR space.
