ATX Investors · Austin, Round Rock & Cedar Park
The room where the 512 builds.
An invite-only room of Austin’s founders, operators, and investors deciding what AI does for their businesses, and for the city they’re building it in. Off the record, capped, and local to its bones.

Four things you can’t get anywhere else in Austin.
Every room, one calendar
We track every business, tech, and investor event across Austin (downtown, the Domain, Round Rock, and out through Cedar Park and Georgetown), refreshed daily, so you never hear about the good one after it happened.
The weekly briefing
One email: what’s worth your time this week, who’s gathering where, and what Austin builders are actually doing with AI. Curated by people who go, never scraped-and-dumped.
A listing that means something
The member directory is vouched-for, not paid-for: the short list people check before they hire, fund, or partner in Austin. Founding members hold their numbers permanently.
Private tables + introductions
Our own gatherings are members-only, off the record, and small on purpose: real numbers, real decisions, and the introduction you actually needed.
Since the moonlights
Austin has always been lit ahead of its size by people who make things happen.
In 1895 Austin bought 31 secondhand arc-light towers from Detroit and planted them over a town of 15,000, moonlights so far ahead of its size that seventeen still burn, the last of their kind on Earth. Seventy-five years later a broke National Guard armory became the Armadillo World Headquarters, and Willie Nelson brought hippies and cowboys onto the same dance floor. Eleven years after that, Austin out-competed 57 cities for MCC, the country’s first tech consortium, and Silicon Hills was built in a decade. ATX Investors is where the people doing that now find each other.
This week in Austin
The best local events to grow, or unwind.
The calendar refreshes daily from every chamber, tech council, and founder gathering across Austin. Members get the full slate in the weekly briefing.
Community events belong to their hosts, we just make sure you know. Sources: the Austin Chamber, the Austin Technology Council, Capital Factory, Austin Tech Week, AI Tinkerers Austin, the Austin Forum on Technology & Society, Austin Women in Technology, and the Cedar Park Chamber. Refreshed daily. Members get the full calendar weekly. Comedy is graded before it is listed: top-reviewed clubs, a named comedian on the bill, three a month, no open mics.

🐾 The nonprofit initiative behind this network
Every room we open is in direct partnership with Best‑Friend.org
Millions of healthy animals are put down simply because shelters run out of room. Best‑Friend.org is the world’s first decentralized nonprofit with a planned ending: it builds the system any community can install to solve shelter overcapacity, then disappears because it is no longer needed. It doesn’t ask anyone for money. Sharing is the donation.
That is what this network is ultimately for. The rooms build the businesses; the attention they earn goes to emptying the shelters.
