THE TEXAN MISSION
Texas Startup & Tech Week begins September 28 and culminates on October 2 — the 191st anniversary of when the “COME AND TAKE IT” flag was raised sparking the Texas Revolution. That same spirit of independence and scrappiness, the courage to fight for a cause on your own terms, and the refusal to back down to a larger force, is the same energy that drives every innovator making a big bet no matter the odds. Texas Innovation Week gatherings are for those who plant the flag and get to work.
