Starships & Startups: A Brownsville Venture Experience
August 16 - 18
The Texas Venture Alliance is helping to collecting interest from the Texas startup, investor, and space tech communities to join a series of rocket and startup gatherings in Brownsville. We will plan casual and very light meetups around the SpaceX Starship rocket launch, a mixer at the eBridge Center (a startup coworking and event space in the region), a beach hang out, and more for the community. A general overview of the schedule is below, but no events have required attendance.
While this is not an official SpaceX event, we wanted to welcome interest within the Texas Venture Alliance networks to see one place on earth where rockets going to Mars are launching from… right here in our state! Organizations involved are our friends from the Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation and Tex Space. More details about how to travel, where to stay, etc will be sent. Send us your interest below.
