About AVA Events

Our community is diverse and driven to succeed.

Welcome to the Austin Venture Association, a place where connections can be established and information can be shared. Our primary focus is on organizing gatherings at which our members may socialize, share their perspectives, and develop meaningful connections with one another. With the help of our venture capitalists, our founders, and our sponsors, we are dedicated to creating an environment that is both dynamic and engaging in order to foster the expansion and success of our community.

We are planning a number of in-person events to take place each quarter of 2023 to provide assistance for both private member events and paid events open to non-members. Members will have the opportunity to meet with one another, discuss their perspectives, and broaden their professional networks during the course of these activities.
