🔥 What’s hot in Houston’s innovation scene this week?

4/27/26 - 5/3/26

In partnership with

Hey friends!

You all, with friends at the Ion and Cup of Joey showed up for us — and it worked.

Beezi.ai hit #4 on Product Hunt on Friday, and we should be getting the Product of the Day badge. If you voted, thank you. Genuinely!

Now — watch this video from Alex Borja. I don't know what he's putting in his coffee, but whatever it is, Houston needs more of it. More of him. This city deserves creators who show up like this and host like Adrianne from Bayou City Startups… [LINK]

Also... I have a confession.

I didn't type a single word of this message. Not one. I spoke it — and WhisperFlow caught every syllable like a golden retriever fetching a tennis ball. Not Siri. Not Alexa. Something else entirely. Something that actually works.

If you've been sleeping on WhisperFlow, my friend, the alarm just went off. They also supported this newsletter. Please go check them out…

Investor updates. Board recaps. Done before your coffee gets cold.

High-stakes communications need precision and speed. Wispr Flow turns your spoken thinking into polished investor notes, board recaps, and executive summaries. It strips filler, formats numbers and lists, and preserves your tone — so what you paste is what you'd have spent an hour editing.

Use voice snippets for recurring formats: weekly updates, quarterly reports, stakeholder briefings. Consistent, professional, fast.

89% of messages sent with zero edits. Used by teams at OpenAI, Vercel, and Clay. Works on Mac, Windows, and iPhone.
