Details

Welcome to F.I.E.S.T.A. , short for Founders, Investors, Entrepreneurs, Startups, Techies, and Austin Newcomers. The Heart of Austin’s Startup Community. Built by Founders for Founders: Providing a Competitive Edge through an Engaged Community.

Our mission is focused on five key areas:

1. Fostering Connections: In Austin’s rapidly growing tech scene, we provide a centralized monthly gathering where like-minded individuals can share ideas, collaborate, help one another, and build lasting relationships.
2. Providing Resources: Many startups struggle due to a lack of access to essential resources. FIESTA connects startups with the tools and knowledge.
3. Encouraging a giving and welcoming environment: We are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed and empowered regardless of background.
4. Helping Founders "Be Seen": FIESTA offers founders the chance to pitch their startup to 200+ attendees twice a year, sharing on social media and featuring them in The FIESTA Focus newsletter that is distributed to 7K+. We aim to help you build awareness, attract members, and connect with potential investors and customers. Sign up HERE to pitch if you've attended FIESTA and are a venture backable startup founder.
5. Celebrating Successes: Entrepreneurship is challenging, and FIESTA believes in celebrating your milestones and wins to keep the community motivated and inspired. Your success and stories inspire us all and should be seen and celebrated. Share your milestones with us HERE!
