This is the slide deck for the "Why Austin?" presentation by Joshua Baer of Capital Factory for his Eisenhower Fellowship to Ireland in September 2015. Austin is on fire – and it’s not just the summer heat. Austin is the fastest growing metro in the country and the Kauffman Foundation just rated it the #1 startup metro in the U.S. Successful entrepreneurs are moving here from Silicon Valley and around the world to start new companies. Apple, Amazon, Athena Healthcare, Atlassian, BigCommerce, Box, Dropbox, Facebook and Google are all expanding here – bringing talent with them and bringing critical experience to the talent that we already have here. Find out how Austin became a Tech Hub and what is unique about it's success.]]>

Attend this session to receive actionable suggestions from a serial entrepreneur and angel investor who has talked to more than 1,000 entrepreneurs. You'll walk away from this presentation with an idea of what you need to do next and a framework for how to evaluate your idea and decide if it's the right startup idea for you, backup up by real world examples from successful entrepreneurs. Naturally, this session will attract many aspiring entrepreneurs who need to find others to work with, partner with, or learn from. If you're ready to start your own company but haven't yet, attend this session and get the adrenaline shot you need to make it happen! Find out: How do I find inspiration for my great idea? I know I want to be an entrepreneur but I haven't found the perfect idea yet. What should I be doing and how should I spend my time? How do I evaluate whether or not an idea is a good one? What criteria should I use to compare one idea to another? How do I decide if this is an idea I should pursue? What makes a good idea the right idea for me? Why am I the right person to make this vision a reality and what are my competitive advantages? The Longhorn Startup Seminar is a lecture-based course in the Fall semester that features prominent entrepreneurs telling the stories of how they founded their companies and answering questions from the students. Students get to pitch their idea to the class and participate in speed-dating events to meet potential co-founders and get advice from mentors.
