Publishers Note: This issue marks 250 consecutive weeks of bringing all of the relevant startup news from across Texas to your inbox every Sunday. Thank you for your support through your readership, sending me news and events, and giving me your feedback on how to make this newsletter more valuable to you and your colleagues in the startup and investment community. I wouldn’t be able to do this without the generous support of my sponsors and employers, Egan Nelson & Silicon Hills Lawyer, and especially my family who every week gives me the time to put it all together.

As always, I appreciate you continuing to share this with anyone who wants to understand how Texas does startup business or wants to get in front of the most targeted audience of founders, investors, and startup service providers in the Lone Star State.

Sincerely,

Marc Nathan

Political, social and economic structures need to be more inclusive — Link

- Heath Butler, guest contributor for the Houston Business Journal

“I am a capitalist; a well-educated professional, venture investor with Mercury Fund, third-generation entrepreneur, advisor to high-growth businesses and mentor to startup companies. I am truly a capitalist at heart, and was raised to believe only the mentally strong will survive due to the unfair social and economic structures of our country that only reward capitalism.

But I am also a black man. And the murder of George Floyd has reminded me once again that capitalism is not always for the greater good, and mental strength does not equal emotional intelligence.”
