Venture Advocacy

Texas Venture Alliance is the only advocate for the Texas venture & startup community in the state focused in the following areas:

  • Legislation

    We focus on legislation that affects the Texas venture community. This can be advocacy that helps provide financial support to startups via matching grants, R&D tax credits, and opposing overreaching regulation.

  • Events

    The earliest initiative we hosted was the Capital & Capitol Mixer, held in October 2022. View the recap and sign up to receive information about future events via the Texas Venture Newsletter.

  • Strategy

    We engage with state lawmakers using a wide variety of grassroots coalition building, mobilization of our network to reach out to their legislators, and via media coverage.
