NachoNacho – The B2B SaaS & AI + Services Marketplace, Connectd, Shopline, Deel, Ancient Technologies, MoFo, Efficient Capital Labs, VeUP, Revolut Business, and community partners Emerging LA, Yorkseed, Nerdstage, and Drizz hosted an exclusive Austin Founder + Investor happy hour event, drawing an incredible 660 attendees for an evening of genuine connection and deal-making energy. The event featured sponsored drinks and appetizers.

This networking event was exclusively for SaaS/AI:

• Tech media
• Founders (minimum Seed funded and later)
• C-Suites
• Investors/VCs

Here’s how the event went:

Applications were carefully screened, and only approved guests were allowed onto the premises — no +1s permitted.

The evening brought together founders sharing their vision, investors discovering the next great startup investment opportunity, and media members getting an inside track on the latest deals and tech trends. Once again, the NachoNacho team delivered on its track record of hosting Founder + VC events in NYC, SF, LA, and Austin with hundreds of participating investors and founders — and this event surpassed them all.

This event was part of the NachoTuesday series, which includes in-person events as well as online thought leadership C-Suite interviews (https://nachonacho.com/nachotuesday).
