MAKERS BEHIND FIESTA
What is FIESTA?
What is FIESTA? F.I.E.S.T.A. is short for Founders, Investors, Entrepreneurs, Startups, Techies, and Austin Newcomers. We created FIESTA as a way to help startup founders/ entrepreneurs/ newcomers feel welcomed, find a place of belonging, and receive the help/resources they need.
Thank you for choosing to be part of Austin's fastest growing startup community. We are currently 5k+ members strong!
How FIESTA started?
Austin is the nation's fastest growing city. In fact, 150 people continue to move here nearly every day. As a growing tech hub, many of these new residents are entrepreneurs or founders. During COVID lockdown, these new Austin residents became isolated. Seeing an opportunity, FIESTA was created in July 2021 when COVID restrictions began lifting.
Being a founder/entrepreneur can be a lonely and arduous journey. The same is true for being new to a city. Meeting together allows everyone to grow professionally and personally.
Welcome to FIESTA and Austin, TX, a place of belonging and southern hospitality. Thank you for choosing to be part of the FIESTA community.
