THE CENTER OF GRAVITY FOR ENTREPRENEURS IN TEXAS

ReFUEL4 has been working out of the Capital Factory since February. My favorite part about being here is that it feels like one big team. Even if your team is small, you are surrounded by incredibly bright and motivated people. Very inspiring and inviting environment.

In 30 days, I went from laid-off at a pivoting tech company, to launching a profitable company with over a dozen clients and a rapidly growing revenue stream. Capital Factory is the only co-working space that has the resources and network to make the impossible possible.

As a first time founder, focused on achieving milestones and persevering setbacks, I need to be surrounded by the strong network of likeminded founders and teams who show up to Capital Factory everyday. Combined with the experiential knowledge, resourcefulness, and authentic warmth of the mentors and staff, this camaraderie truly makes the Capital Factory shine as Austin’s center of gravity.

The spirit of friendliness, collaboration and cross-pollination at Capital Factory is unparalleled. I can directly attribute substantial revenue growth and improved product/market fit to lessons I’ve learned from the many great people that work here.

Having run our company at 6 different locations before landing at Capital Factory, I can say without a doubt it’s the best place we’ve been. Having access to the facilities, mentors, communities and events that make up the whole ecosystem has been a huge value for us at Austin Coding Academy. The staff are pretty awesome, too 😉

Joining Capital Factory was by far one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve made some of the best connections with mentors, advisors, investors, and friends through CF. As a female entrepreneur, I’ve never worked in a place more supportive or encouraging of women in tech than in CF. If you’re in Austin and in tech, Capital Factory is the best place to be — without a doubt.

We’ve had a very positive experience as a Capital Factory Accelerator company. One of CF’s biggest strengths is their large mentor network and we’ve gladly taken advantage of this by seeking advice from many mentors.

The Capital Factory Accelerator was a game changer for us – it helped us receive our first investment dollars, connected us to the right decision makers, and perhaps most importantly – got our company in front of the people it needed to be in front of. The ability to schedule 80+ meetings over the course of a couple months, and meet the majority of the Austin startup crowd, is perhaps what was most significant for us. We found mentors, investors, employees simply by taking advantage of what Capital Factory made available to us. We wouldn’t be here without having gone through the Accelerator.

Access to the top mentors and investors, an amazing staff, epic events, and a beautiful workplace in the heart of downtown make Capital Factory the the best (if not the only) choice for startups in Austin. As a startup that relocated to Austin for the accelerator program, we could not have asked for a better way to plug into the vibrant Austin tech community.

My advice to any entrepreneur starting a company in Austin is to hang out at Capital Factory. It really is the center of gravity for entrepreneurship in the city. Capital Factory is your gateway to meeting any investor, any entrepreneur, any prospective customer or any job candidate in Austin.

The Capital Factory Accelerator program and co-working space played a huge part in Aceable’s early success. I entered Capital Factory with a bad business idea and no team and left with a $1mm run rate and the core of an industry changing team.

The Capital Factory network of mentors and advisors has been invaluable for me. Not only did I get my first check from a partner who believed in me, but I also managed to recruit Ross Buhrdorf, whom I met during office hours, to join and become CEO. That would never have happened without Capital Factory.

Capital Factory is an incredible place to create business and explore new ideas. The entire team are as invested in the people in the same as they are in the community surrounding the building. I have enjoyed planning events, speaker series, conferences, and fostering a sense of excitement. The state of the art facility allows us to live stream, capture, captivate, and document everything we do and every event. The programs Capital Factory makes possible are always a starting point and the tools inside ensure we grow together.

Capital Factory is an amazing place to make business connections, and the best event space for technical meetups focused on AR/VR tech! Austin is the creative hub for biotechnology and game development, and Capital Factory’s coworking space reflects the awesome entrepreneurial spirit of Austin. Plus, their conference rooms are super cool!

I run several meetups, and Capital Factory has been my partner of choice due to their genuine community spirit and consistent and reliable support they provide. If you haven’t checked out the new 1st-floor space, I encourage you to do so as they’ve made their space even more accessible for the Austin startup community.

Capital Factory is the place to get connected with the Virtual Reality scene in ATX! I’ve met a lot of fine Texans there who develop software, tried out cool local games, and made great friends.

We absolutely love holding meetings and offsite events in Capital Factory’s MobilityX space. The staff is exceptionally accommodating and the environment is perfect for meetings, classes and social events.

Capital Factory is a great community partner with Lesbians Who Tech.

Hosting our VIP reception for Smart Cities Connect Conference at Capital Factory couldn’t have gone more smoothly. The space was fresh and fun but also professional and open. We had to make some big changes, last minute; but the team at Capital Factory didn’t blink an eye, providing us with much-needed confidence only days before our event. Highly recommend!

Mentoring is the best way to learn about all the innovations and potential disruption happening in so many different industries.

Serving as a Capital Factory Mentor puts a spring in my step – I feel I receive as much or more than I give! On any mentoring occasion, I gain something when fully engaged in an entrepreneur’s enthusiasm, curiosity, and drive.

Helping founders with their startup’s at Capital Factory is a rewarding experience. I met co-founders for two of my startups while mentoring there. Rewarding indeed.

Capital Factory – a place where energy, creativity and intellect collide. Fearless founders paired with adept investors build and deliver. Entrepreneurship wins; the ecosystem rolls.
