🔥What's hot in Houston's Innovation Ecosystem this week?

Hey Houston Innovators!

HTX is more than just an energy titan. We’re also doing amazing work in health tech, life sciences, and aerospace…

However, we're still climbing the ranks in software… Some will say, “At least, our deep, hard tech roots protect us from being completely disrupted by AI.”

That is true, but with stellar founders, mentors, investors, and tech hubs like the Ion leading the charge, we must do better as the 4th largest city in the US…What’s the real issue?

I think, AWARNESS!!!

Awareness of events and access to the RIGHT type of mentors, specifically those with experience in software startups…

Well…

The Ion and Mercury Fund have something special for our software startups called simply - Software Day.

If you are building a software startup? Don’t miss out! Apply by June 3rd for Software Day at the Ion on June 11th. (Selected startups get two 30-minute 1:1 sessions with Mercury network mentors to fuel their growth. Ideal for pre-Series A startups in early revenue stages.)

So go out there, ROCKET NETWORK, meet the RIGH folks, and let's put Houston on the software map!
