Deep Tech and Hardware Expo
Join us for a curated showcase of breakthrough deep tech and hardware companies pushing the boundaries of what's possible. We're bringing together Antler's portfolio founders and friends of the firm who are working on hard problems in manufacturing, biotech, robotics, and other frontier technologies that require significant R&D and even more gnarly operations.
If you studied, worked, founded, or invested in deep tech in the past, we would love to host you. We are pushing for a talent density that ATX is known for in this sector.
EVENT TIMELINE:
4:00 - 6:00 PM CST – EXPO EVENT, DOORS OPEN
6:00 - 7:00 PM – AFTER PARTY (music, drinks)
SHOWCASE COMPANIES:
What to expect:
An industrial venue — we are literally going to be in a parking lot at a warehouse
Live demos and products — hear directly from technical founders about the challenges they are solving, and the pains of bringing a physical product with heavy operations to life.
Kickass conversations. Network with other mechanical and controls engineers, founders who have raised without ARR, and investors who actually deploy capital in these companies
What not to expect:
Fancy food, but we will have food trucks!
A panel of experts
Austin's deep tech ecosystem is thriving, and SXSW week is the perfect time to meet the people building the future—not just talking about it. Whether you're raising your next round, exploring partnership opportunities, or simply want to geek out about frontier tech, you'll find a home here.
