They bring companies like Amazon, Apple, and Tesla to Austin. So what do they have on their wish list or carts at Amazon? You'll have to read more below.


  • Chris Ramser, Director, Research

    "This is a great solution for an auto-on desktop adjustable plant light. It’s big enough to cover several house plants and my plants have been happily blooming since I got it." We will buy anything to help keep the plants alive and well!

  • Roland Peña, Vice President, Economic Development

    A wonderful household item to always have stocked. "After working on DIY projects, even the office professional “manly man” has to have an aromatherapeutic hand soap that is tough on dirt/grime."

  • Alexis Flores, Manager, Corporate Expansion

    "These glasses to help make the perfect martini - I've been trying to perfect my own since COVID." Also a lovely hostess gift!

  • Beverly Kerr, Vice President, Research

    "I've been buying a lot of these as Christmas gifts this year." A silk pillowcase sounds divine.

  • Karen Cole, Economic Development Coordinator

    "I recently bought this cookbook for my brother that shows you how to make meals for two in an air fryer." Air fryers are certainly a 2020 trend.

  • Alfonso Lucio, Economic Development Specialist

    This is a great option to save money by making coffee at home. "This affordable foam maker has made it way easier for me to make my own whipped matcha lattes while working from home!"
