🚀WELCOME TO ROCKET NETWORK!

I'm Oleg Lysiak, and I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome you to Rocket Network - the premier newsletter for Houston's hottest startup and tech events. As a passionate startup enthusiast, I believe that building meaningful connections and fostering strong relationships is key to success in the startup world.

In nature, nothing can survive without essential resources such as water and nutrients. Similarly, startups cannot exist in a vacuum and require a thriving ecosystem to grow and flourish. Houston boasts a vibrant startup scene, but keeping track of events across multiple platforms like Eventbrite, Meetup, and various calendars can be overwhelming.

That's where Rocket Network comes in - we want to bring the startup community in Houston together to network, collaborate, and accelerate growth. Our coverage includes all types of events related to startups, technology meetups, venture capital, pitch competitions, and more. Whether you're a founder, mentor, investor, tech enthusiast, or service provider, we've got you covered.

In addition to event coverage, we also highlight community achievements and founder requests. Our mission is to facilitate growth and collaboration within the startup ecosystem, so we can all achieve greater success together.

Let's join forces and ROCKET NETWORK! I'm excited to be a part of this dynamic community and share my insights with all of you.

I'm still deciding on this, but I will leave some emojis that might help our readers navigate through the list of events.
