THE CENTER OF GRAVITY FOR ENTREPRENEURS IN TEXAS

An event every month that begins at 6:00pm on day First of the month, happening 12 times
A meet your co-founder/investor/business dev event but everyone who participates must pitch in front of the group. If you aren’t willing to pitch you can’t enter and must leave. The group gives each speaker direct feedback which is priceless. This makes networking afterward easy because everyone in the room knows exactly who everyone is and what their intentions are. This meetup is for everyone regardless of what you do or what industry you’re in! No slide decks or props allowed.
Calling all local businesses in the Capital City: in this group so you can learn from others like you, share your story, and discuss what you need to do to stand out from other local businesses.
Come check us out, we can’t wait to e-meet you! The Center of Gravity Toastmasters normally meets every Thursday from 12:05 – 1:00 pm and the fourth Thursday of each month from 7:00 – 8:00 pm.

Join us monthly as we bring together founders and creators in the Fantasy Sports, Esports, and Gaming verticals. Our emphasis is on fostering community support to address individual pain points, synergies between organizations, and camaraderie in dealing with the unique challenges of this exciting industry.
Whether you’re a veteran founder or just starting your company, our purpose is to be the place for anyone in the industry to find connections, co-founders, resources, partnerships, capital, know-how, or simply have a good time networking with others in the industry.
If you’ve been building your venture for a little while, chances are, you are feeling tired, under-resourced, and pretty lonely. Worst of all, you’re scared to dip your toe into raising the necessary “first round” $500k-$2m for your venture.
The reason you’re scared has nothing to do with the quality of your vision or venture. It’s because you have not yet mastered how to “pitch like a goddess” – to anchor deeply into your highest vision for humanity, and then communicate it with authority and clarity to invite others to join you.
The key is to understand the difference between your feminine leadership energy (which is magnetic and visionary), and your masculine leadership energy (which holds a strong container, including deciding your fundraising amount and timeline.)
In this electrifying, laser-focused workshop, you’ll experience a shift in:
– how to re-frame your pitch deck to become compelling to any outsider who doesn’t understand your business
– how to re-frame your strategy so you can magnetize values-aligned supporters – and keep out the rest
– how to stay grounded, anchored, and powerfully connected to your own vision as you shift, grow, and transform yourself and your venture.
This framework is based on Nilima’s personal experience scaling her paradigm-shifting sex education program to half a million youth, in a foreign country, with a team of only 3 people and a handful of cash. It has also helped other founders raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in a few short weeks, and millions in follow-on funding.
Previous engagements: Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center, RISE by Barclays, and more.
Testimonials:
“Nilima’s workshop started with her own, very inspirational story, and then led us through a powerful self-reflection exercise. Attendees left feeling empowered and emboldened to fundraise from a position of strength. Some attendee comments:
’This is really good and I don’t know one founder who would not benefit from this even if they are beyond early rounds.’
’This is completely paradigm-shifting — thank you so much for this mental and emotional reframe!’”
Katrin de Haen, co-founder at The Fourth Floor, a board seat marketplace for women
“I can’t recommend Nilima enough if you want a talk to inspire as much as it informs. She addressed issues of feeling unworthy, being underestimated or simply finding investors that actually get the problem you’re solving… as well as tactical advice to get out there and raise.We are still radiating from your energy and warmth, as well as your advice!!”

Clojure was formed in October 2011. Since then, it has focused on Clojure and related Lisp languages, such as Common Lisp and Scheme, all of which have strongly influenced the design of Clojure and the approach Clojure takes in approaching software design.
Clojure also has Java as its foundational platform. Clojure’s focus is not on the Java language but on the JVM and associated libraries. The JVM provides massive amounts of power for Clojure b/c you can use any Java library from Clojure, and it is pretty easy and clean to do so. Existing Java libraries can be wrapped in a functional approach with Clojure, thus providing a more functional and data-oriented approach to using the libraries. It gives the libraries a Clojury and Lispy feel.
