We’re the Lone Star State, but we shouldn’t have lone star founders. Co-created in 12 cities and 18 venues, The Texas Venture Fest (formerly Texas Venture Crawl), Oct 3rd simultaneously showcases programming and networking featuring the ecosystem of startup support. It started in 2022 with just 5 venues hosted by Austin venture capital firms and 1,000+ attendees. In 2023 it grew to 10 cities, 16 venues, 40+ venture panelists, and nearly 3,000 attendees. I attended last year, and I’d highly recommend it, whether you’re a founder, VC, ecosystem builder, or just curious about becoming involved in the Texas startup and VC ecosystem. The 2024 Texas Venture Fest is happening on October 3rd.

Startups always begin with an idea, but it's the people behind them that bring that idea to life. Check out Carta's first-ever Founder Ownership Report and dive into how equity is distributed among founding teams, investors, and employees — and how it evolves as startups grow. Key trends include: - The rise of solo founders. Solo founders now lead 35% of startups, more than double the rate from a decade ago - Increasingly equal equity. In 2024, 45.9% of two-person teams had an even equity split, up from 31.5% in 2015. - Declining founder ownership with scale. After raising a seed round, founders collectively own just 56.2% of their startup. By Series A, that drops to 36.1%, and at Series B, it's down to 23%. These trends highlight the evolving landscape of startup ownership and the many decisions founders face as their companies evolve. Don't miss this must-read for any founder or anyone looking for a better understanding of the key dynamics of equity in early-stage companies.

With experience as a CEO for two companies over the past 10 years, Rainforest Founder Joshua Silver is a veteran in the startup game! After winning the #VA2023 pitch competition (and raising over $8.5M), he’s setting his sights on redefining the standard for embedded payment processes. Here are some of what he's learned along the way: 1. There's no "I" in "team". It’s important to treat your employees right. 2. Always focus on the fundamentals. Ensure the redundancy, scalability, and legal framework you’re operating in is worth it. 3. Never mistreat your customers. When you make a mistake, own it. 4. Keep quality paramount. By building a quality product, treating people right, and always doing the right thing, people will trust your company.

Reflecting on Juneteenth and the path ahead for my startup. Slauson & Co., the lead investor in my last venture, hosted "Framing the Pitch," a virtual event focused on helping underrepresented founders. They believe your lived experience is your competitive advantage. ??The struggle is real:?? Competition, limited capital, rising CAC costs, and finding talent. The list goes on. Pre-seed funding is about traction and proving your team is right for the job. ??VC investments in Black-owned startups:?? 2021: $5B 2022: $2.4B Last year: $705M This decline is crushing. The system wasn't built for founders like me. Our parents weren’t lying when they said, "You need to work 2-3x harder." What to do with this reality? ?? Make yourself undeniable. ?? Utilize resources from those who understand your journey. ?? Become an expert in your field. ?? Master storytelling. ?? Engage with your community for support. Together, we can make a difference. Read the full article for a link to Slauson's YT channel and a graphic about potential raise targets based on your pedigree and traction.
