Who's heading to SXSW?! Our founder Katherine van Hengel will be there (and we'll be launching in Austin!)
CEO and Co-Founder of Thruhike (thruhike.io), a curated marketplace for local travel & shopping || Producer & Filmmaker
Thruhike is heading to Austin for SXSW next week! A few exciting updates: 1. We’re officially launching our Austin/Central Texas region next week with a curated local directory featuring places, products, lifestyle inspiration, and recommendation lists from everyday users, local voices, brands, and our expert curation team. 2. Local businesses and brands in Austin are sharing exclusive deals and perks on our platform—don’t miss out! Make an account at thruhike.io to curate your everyday—without always relying on noisy social or big tech marketplaces. 3. I’ll be at SXSW and would love to connect! If you're attending or have a cool event I should stop at, message me on LinkedIn so we can coordinate. Excited to see how Thruhike can bring recommendations, community partnerships, and curated journeys to make Austin a little bit weirder. See you there! XOKatherine P.S. If you're a business or brand with ties to Austin or know of one looking to collaborate with local businesses, attract more foot traffic, or boost revenue, reach out! Our platform is free to use, designed to be a win-win-win—driving growth for communities including locally-driven businesses, partners, and us. (Huge shout out to Whitney Lawson-LaMonica & Erica Mellon for getting us up and running in Austin)
