🏆 ABOUT TEXAS VENTURE FEST (Awards & Gala)
The Lone Star State shouldn’t have lone star founders. The Texas Venture Fest is the only truly "Texas-sized" day of networking and programming highlighting the ecosystem of startup support. More than 10 cities simultaneously host this statewide phenomenon, co-creating a record-breaking event for the country & proud moment for the state. Across our small towns and the nation's biggest metropoles, 3,000+ Texans gather to help innovation flourish and to network & learn from each other! We also use the statewide event registration to ask for your favorite investor, startup, and community leader, and why, for the Texan's Choice Awards. It's the "People's Choice Awards" for our statewide innovation community presented at the Fest's sister signature event, the Texas Venture Gala & Forum.
