About AVA
Austin’s venture community, together.
Who We Are
We bring Austin’s investors, founders and operators into the same room.
We organize the local venture community, run events and education, and help emerging companies find the people and resources they need.
Membership works like a Paasport.
Introductions, events and access in one place. It’s where you start if you want to plug into Austin’s venture scene.
Here’s what we’re here to do.
Our Mission
We founded AVA in 2021 for Austin’s venture community, from longtime locals to the newest arrivals. Our focus is three things: organizing and amplifying the community, education and professional development, and real support for emerging companies.
And why it has to be Austin.
