In Austin, where ideas spark brighter than the city lights, there’s a pre-SXSW happy hour that the ATC has been hosting for over a decade. It’s called the “Gateway Happy Hour,” and if you think it’s just another networking event, you’re in for a delightful surprise. Imagine this: John, a developer with a passion for AI, accidentally spills his drink on Diana, an investor with a keen eye for groundbreaking tech startups. They laugh it off, sparking a conversation that leads to the discovery of mutual interests. Fast forward six months, and they’re co-launching an AI platform that’s set to revolutionize the industry. This, my friends, is the serendipity of networking, where a small mishap turns into a life-changing opportunity. The ATC “Gateway Happy Hour” on March 5th isn’t just an event; it’s a launching pad for possibilities. You have no idea whom you might meet. It’s where the tech community’s civic minded leaders and entrepreneurs come together, not just to exchange business cards, but to share ideas, dreams, and maybe a few laughs. It’s where you might find your next co-founder, mentor, or investor, in the most unexpected way. Or you will just have fun and celebrate Austin tech! So, to everyone who works in and around our tech ecosystem, mark your calendars. This isn’t just another networking event; it’s your gateway to endless opportunities. Come for the fun, stay for the serendipity. Let’s make connections that matter, build a stronger community, and maybe, just maybe, spill a drink or two in the name of future collaborations (just kidding). See you at the “Gateway Happy Hour” – where the future of tech begins with a simple “hello.” Registration is on the ATC website- walk ins cannot be accepted. #CelebrateAustinTech #austintech

It’s that time of year again. The Tech Climbers big reveal is imminent and we're super-excited to be sponsoring the drinks for the third time.   If it's anything like previous years, it'll be a vibrant event with lots of awesome start-ups and scale-ups from the Liverpool City Region. The start-up ecosystem in this region is exciting and growing. We're seeing some brilliant businesses form and scale in the city. Whilst we’ve had challenging market conditions in the UK, it hasn’t stopped some fantastic entrepreneurs from building innovative and successful companies. Tech Climbers means a lot to us. For one, it's organised by the brilliant team at Active Profile. But also because Raina is one of the co-founders of SupplyWell, which has been previously listed as a tech climber. We also LOVE to support the Liverpool City Region. We work with brilliant businesses all over the UK but there’s something special in supporting your local community. So, if you’re heading along this year, drop us a note. Or better yet, grab us for a chat and enjoy some drinks on us. We can’t wait to meet the entrepreneurs and teams creating a thriving local tech scene. Don’t miss a great community event – get your tickets now ⬇️ https://hubs.ly/Q02hG_Pp0 #TechClimbers #LCR #Liverpool 2023's Tech Climbers...

I had a chance to attend the first day of the Calcalist כלכליסט conference… and I must admit, the vibrant energy in the room, the presence of so many #founders, #VCs, and international attendees (including those who flew in from Israel) energized me Despite the challenging time in the Startup Nation, the resilience and rational optimism expressed by the attendees was palpable The conference was a testament to the resilience of the Israeli tech ecosystem, especially the active tech community in New York As I navigated the conference, I was reminded of how much I used to love attending networking events in New York. But with age, the need to maximize time becomes increasingly evident. I found that the most beneficial approach was to be 100% focused, particularly when engaging in conversations Here are three tips I found helpful as I’m trying to be more intentional and present in my interactions these days: 1️⃣ Be 100% focused when talking to people. It's challenging, but the rewards are worth it (trust me, I know, I can be a very distracted person) … but the other party knows when you’re not listening 2️⃣ Follow up promptly. After every interaction, I made it a point to reach out with a simple message… it's a small gesture, but it goes a long way in building relationships. Also, I don’t take it personally when I don’t get a response… many people just don’t follow-up, or even respond 3️⃣ Embrace serendipity and cultivate long-term relationships. These take time, but the investment is worthwhile. We all know opportunities don’t happen on their own, but as a result of trust building which only happens over time (you’d think this is common sense, but it’s worth repeating) Nothing groundbreaking here, but small things sometimes make all the difference As I’ll be attending SXSW later this week (if you’re in Austin, lets connect), I'm reminded of the importance of these relationships. I admit, I could have focused more on this in the past. But, it's never too late to start CTech by Calcalist #startupnation #newyorkcity #israelinnovation
