Entrepreneurship
We cultivate a supportive community within the Austin region for entrepreneurs and small business owners that fosters collaboration, innovation, and leadership among businesses.
We believe entrepreneurship fuels innovation and strengthens our community. We're proud to champion a thriving ecosystem where startups and small businesses can grow, with a special focus on empowering women entrepreneurs.
With guidance from the Mayor's Task Force for Austin Women Entrepreneurs, we created our Entrepreneurship Council in 2024, with the goal of creating networking events, educational programs, and mentorship opportunities to break down barriers, amplify voices, and drive sustainable economic growth in Austin.
