Built:In Austin @ SWSW | Fintech Edition

​Building on the momentum of our Built In Austin gathering, we are bringing the community together again during SXSW for a casual, come-as-you-are meet-up.

​This event will feature a founder roundtable, with an off-the-record discussion forselect founders on emerging fintech themes she is tracking for future coverage and long-form analysis for potential Forbes placement.

​This is an informal mixer for founders, operators, investors, and tech leaders in town for SXSW who want real conversations without panels, pitches, or programming. Just good people, drinks, and connection.

​Bring a friend. Stay for five minutes or two hours. New faces and familiar ones welcome.

​What to expect
• Casual networking
• No agenda, no speakers
• Founders, builders, operators, and investors
• SXSW energy without the chaos
