I Became a Top Austin Connector in Eight Months

Austin Founders Feed asked the city's best connectors one question: Who are the top connectors in Austin?

My name came back. I've lived here only eight months.

Wow.

Show Up First

Not going to lie, if you saw my social calendar you'd know why. Founder breakfasts, meetups, walks, dinners, events, happy hours. I said yes to almost all of it.

Plus, I'm quite the social butterfly.

Build Something

Then I stopped only going to rooms and started one back in March: The AI Implementation Club.

Showing up gets you into a city. Building something people want to show up to is what makes you part of it.

Real Connectors

55 names on that list. I know most of them personally, and I can tell you they're the real deal. Connectors AND outstanding humans.

Your Move

Here's the thing: getting into a new city isn't about waiting for invitations. It's about saying yes to every room you can find, then eventually building one yourself.

The people who connect others are the ones who show up consistently and create spaces worth showing up to.
