Today we go downtown to Capital Factory, a veritable Shangrila for any entrepreneur that comes to Texas. Built to help entrepreneurs find information and funds to help with their business endeavours, it acts as a great social space to meet like-minded people too.
They also have an extensive list of mentors that can help guide you and they’re situated smack in the middle of downtown Austin.
After talking to Ali, one of the coordinators there, it’s obvious why so many people choose to join their programmes, and it leaves me wanting to join a program too! - Ali Syed
