Join us for a conversation with Geek Ventures VC Sarah Romanko.
We welcome builders, hackers, scholars, researchers, and lifelong learners to join us for a meetup in Austin to share ideas on how to build a fantastic future. We believe that many of the hurdles blocking technological progress are failures of will and imagination a la J. Storrs Hall and that by shifting our culture we can unlock innovation. Join us for monthly discussions on how to make that happen.

I'm not in tech. Can I still attend?
Absolutely. We love technologists. We also love folks that bring a humanities worldview. Both orientations can bring tremendous value to envisioning and creating a dynamic future.
Is it okay if I come late and/or leave early?
Yes.How do I know if I'm a good fit?
If you have made it this far reading the page, you are likely a great fit for the Build the Future community! We are intent on facilitating a friendly environment and building a positive and supportive community around this topic. We hope you'll join us :)
