We just wrapped up another unforgettable Hometown Hangout! This year, as always, didn’t disappoint. Reflecting on the day, the genuine conversations, the shared laughter over the fantastic Bloody Mary bar, and the realization that we’re all here, navigating this wild ride of an industry together. It’s a reminder that at the heart of all this technology, innovation, and hustle, it’s the human connections that really drive us forward.
Our company, dedicated to helping VCs make smart investments through market research, finds immense value in events like Hometown Hangout. Here, we get to meet face-to-face with the innovators we support and the venture capitalists looking to fuel the next big thing. These interactions are invaluable, providing us with insights and understanding that no report can fully capture.
To my peers in the industry who spent the day with me, thank you for the insights, the laughs, and the camaraderie. To those who couldn’t make it, I hope to see you next year under the warm Texas sky, where ideas flourish and connections are made.
Here’s to innovation, community, and the many more Hometown Hangouts to come!
Cheers! Laura
