EVENT: The Venture Boat Cruise
The Austin Venture Association booked a private chartered boat on Town Lake on March 12 from 6:30pm-9pm. We provided dinner, drinks, and enjoyed a spectacular tour and view of downtown Austin. This event was exclusive to startup investors and select venture-backed entrepreneurs.
This Venture Boat Cruise was by invitation only through our Executive and Advisory Boards. The double-decker boat had limited space capacity for 100 people and sold out early.
Pizza was provided by Baldinucci Pizza Romana, who is also offering our venture networks a private artisan pizza tasting next month as well as 10% off code using “AVA” upon checkout.
Wine was sponsored by In Good Taste, a hot CPG startup featuring direct-to-consumer mini wines as well as full bottles.
Bold Moves Beverages was our craft cocktail-in-a-can sponsor, combining American Whiskey and cold brew coffee to create Cold Brooze.
Dessert was provided by Better Bites, maker of allergen-free vegan sweet treats.
We specifically invited founders from these up-and-coming businesses as they are raising their next round. The Venture Boat was a great chance to casually chat with them about their fast growth. Please see our event calendar and also sign up for the newsletter to be in-the-know of next events.
PARTNERSHIPS: This experience was organized with support from our Founding Partners: Brex, Connor Group, CBRE, TriNet, Cooley, EarlyGrowth, Cherry Bekaert, Silicon Valley Bank, SR Group | Compass. To learn more about Austin Venture Association partnerships please click here.
