ABOUT AUSTIN STARTUP WEEK
Started in 2011, Austin Startup Week is five days of events celebrating Austin startups, the organizations and meetups that support them and all the awesome people that make them happen!

Each year, organizations and startups open their doors, put on events and roll out the red carpet for both locals and visitors who are interested in learning more about the startup scene in Austin.

The 2017 lineup, running from October 9-13, was packed full of over 100 events consisting of morning coffees, a startup career fair, educational panels, regular meetups, happy hours, workshops, a Battle of the Tech Bands and a “startup crawl” where companies serve up culture and tours. Almost all of the 100+ events organized in 2017 were free and open to the public–no badges required–drawing in 7,500 attendees and visitors from around the country (and beyond!).
