​A Daring Ventures Dinner

​Some cities just build differently.

​We're heading to Houston because there's something distinct about how things get done here. This isn't a city that waits for permission or follows someone else's playbook.

​The energy exec who's been thinking about climate tech since before it was a category. The medical center researcher who finally left to commercialize what the system was too slow to adopt. The logistics operator who saw inefficiency at scale and couldn't stop sketching solutions.

​These are people who understand industries that move the world. Oil and gas. Healthcare. Logistics. Aerospace. They're not theorizing from the outside. They're rebuilding from within, with decades of context that can't be replicated.

​Why Houston: We believe the most interesting companies come from founders who've spent years in the trenches of real industries. And Rice University continues to produce founders and investors who combine world-class education with Houston's builder mentality (shameless plug from our co-GP, Maddi Holman, a rice alum 🤠)

​Daring Ventures: The fund for monomaniacal founders.

​Can't Not: Our dinner series for people who see what needs to exist and make it happen.

​Looking forward to Tex-Mex, good conversation, and connecting with the people shaping Texas's next chapter.
