Austin RAW Conversations: Conviction in Early-Stage Investing & Building
Details
Austin RAW Conversations is a monthly meetup hosted by Arturo for founders, investors, and operators building and backing early-stage tech companies.
This February session centers on Conviction; how belief forms, strengthens, and breaks in early-stage investing and company building. We’ll look at real startup examples and use the room to think through what created conviction, what sustained it, and where it eventually gave way.
The conversation is structured and participatory. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance. The value comes from shared analysis and discussion, guided by a clear frame. Participation is highly encouraged.
