At the height of the pandemic and the global shift to remote work, tech founders and investors alike flocked to Austin, Texas, drawn to a more business-friendly environment, relatively lower housing costs, and the cityโs hip reputation. Venture firms that set up shop in the Texas capital city included Bedrock Capital, Breyer Capital, and 8VC , among others. Elon Musk famously moved Teslaโs headquarters to Austin in 2021, while also purchasing a house and establishing a residence there. But as more employees returned to in-office work, Austin slowly fell out of favor with the tech community, some of whom said it had been overhyped as a startup hub. There were reports of tech workers who had moved to the city during the pandemic and claimed to regret it, saying they were going back to places like the Bay Area. Musk relocated Teslaโs engineering headquarters back to California in 2023. Undeterred by the โtourists,โ the startup and venture community in Austin kept plugging away. And those efforts are reflected in a surge in funding for startups headquartered there last year, with 2025 posting an all-time high in Austin venture investment, Crunchbase data show.

Reject the single family home. Embrace the family compound.




Just "education capital"โฆ it's cleaner. They're coming for "EdTech" now: because a scapegoat must be found for years of dismal results and policies and, to be fair, because awful software has defined the category for too long. We can spend a few years arguing about the word and who is and isn't defined by it, or we can just kill the word in front of them like the ending of Sicario and ascend to the thing that really matters: the what and why, rather than the how. The future of education everywhere will be defined in Austin. High tech or no tech, it's being invented, tested, and distributed from EduMeccaโข





If youโre a founder you should be training like an athlete: > 8hrs sleep > no alcohol > daily sun > lift 4x a week > 10k steps/day The #1 reason founders fail is because they quit. If your body is fit, you wonโt quit.



In a world of boring losers, be the fun person who routinely hosts and invites people over.
