Best decision we ever made to move here. My wife and I say “Only in Austin” at least weekly because of the new opportunities and the people we keep meeting. Austin Superpowers Help-First Culture → open networks & fast collaboration We Build Everything → homes, rockets, robots, companies, & community Living in the Future → we create innovation & deploy it locally (robotaxis, 3D-printed homes, delivery robots, Alpha School & UATX) The Power of “And” → tech + art, science + industry, digital + physical Austin Cool Factor → F1, SXSW, ACL NASCAR, monster trucks, and the rodeo Challenges The closest Big 4 team is the Spurs. Otherwise it’s Houston or Dallas for NBA, MLB, and NFL. UT football and Austin FC are our “pro” teams When I lived in San Diego, we took the kids to museums and zoos often and I miss that here. Austin needs more cultural assets unique to our city. Dataland, the first AI art museum, should have been here, not LA. Restaurant scene is actually great and growing, but not anywhere near the scale of NYC. Being acknowledged by Michelin now Need to crack down on homelessness, crime, and over spending by City Council
