Inside the event
It's the classic battle of brother vs. brother, tall vs. short, old vs. even older, bootstrap vs. VC!
Rob and Chris Taylor will discuss the Austin entrepreneurial ecosystem and the pros and cons of bootstrapping vs. raising VC, and how the current AI moment is tipping the scales.
We will begin with a happy hour at 5:00, followed by the discussion and Q&A around 5:45 (then more happy hour!)
