TechFW

Some rooms just feel different. Walking into Red Productions for our Tech Together event had that uniquely startup energy.

Founders pitching what they’re building.
Investors asking the right questions.
New connections forming in real time.

It’s a reminder that Fort Worth is building something worth being part of. Big thank you to Texas A&M-Fort Worth for sponsoring the evening and TechFW graduate Red Productions for hosting us so well. And the biggest round of applause goes to our founders who pitched live for us: Bectas Therapeutics Inc. - Nspire Medical Technologies - Tremedics - Portal Aircraft Company.

If you missed it, don’t worry, this was just the beginning. Save the date for our next Tech Together on June 25th.

Barrie is so pleased to be returning to Fort Worth on March 27th to present at the TechFW Speaker Series on Creative and Disruptive Entrepreneurship.

He'll also be touching on his philanthropic journey, which has given VIP sporting and entertainment experiences to over 26,000 seriously ill children and their families through Box4Kids!

Whilst he's looking forward to sharing personal case studies, he is also very much looking forward to learning from the many entrepreneurs and innovators who are shaping the future, as well as catching up with some great long-standing Texan friends.

Fun Fact! Barrie's maternal grandfather was the world pole vault record holder and the last UK athlete to win the US pole vault championship!

See you soon Texas- only two weeks to go!

Yesterday our team had the chance to help inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs at the JA Inspire Career Expo. More than 1,000 high school students from across Fort Worth ISD came through the event to explore different industries and career paths. TechFW led the Entrepreneurship Zone alongside .app where we invited juniors and seniors to start thinking like founders.

Our activation was simple: imagine your future business and design its logo and brand. Armed with markers, stickers, and plenty of creativity, students brought their ideas to life as we turned their designs into custom buttons they could take home.

We were blown away (though not surprised) by how many students are already thinking about starting their own businesses. If even a few of those buttons end up sitting on a backpack or desk somewhere and remind a student to keep building toward their idea, we’d call that a win.

Huge thanks to for bringing together educators, companies, and students to create experiences like this. We’re proud to partner with organizations helping shape the future workforce and the next generation of entrepreneurs.
