ATW SEED FUND PITCH & PUTT
Austin’s seed funds are coming together to host a friendly golf outing and happy hour. We're buying out Butler Pitch and Putt, one of Austin's most legendary spots, for an evening with the founders and investors actually writing early checks in this city.
Funds who are co-hosting include Capital Factory, Clutch VC, TipTop VC, Ensemble Ventures, FirstMile Ventures, Oncology Ventures, Mucker Capital, Angel Collective, Veridical Ventures and Antler.
Shotgun start across all 9 holes, scramble format, up to 6 per group. Every hole is a par 3 under 110 yards, so bring 2 or 3 clubs and you're set. No golf experience required. After sunset we shift into a 5-hole glow golf loop.
Golfing? Bring your own crew of 6 (it's on you to fill all 6 spots, we won't backfill) or RSVP solo and we'll slot you into a group. Just 54 spots, so lock it in early.
Not golfing? The covered backyard has seating, drinks, snacks, and sidelines to the action, plus a putting green open all evening.
Wednesday, October 28, 2026 · 5:00 to 9:45 PM. Butler Pitch and Putt, 201 Lee Barton Dr, Austin, TX 78704 Closed, invite-only.
