Austin Tech Week kicked off Monday, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors and technology leaders for five days of programming across the city.

The annual event, running Oct. 20-24, features more than 50 gatherings ranging from early-morning networking walks to pitch competitions and evening social events. Now in its second decade, Austin Tech Week is produced in partnership between Jacqueline Hughes, Joshua Baer and Capital Factory.

Highlights include the Seed + Series A Female Founder & Investor Dinner on Monday, sponsored by J.P. Morgan, and the Austin Venture Day on Tuesday, which will feature founders who have raised more than $100 million discussing the city’s tech ecosystem.

Wednesday’s programming includes a VC and founder panel on consumer innovation, while Thursday features MoFo Fall 2025 Pitch Day at Capital Factory and the comedy-infused “Your Startup Sucks” live pitch show.

The week concludes Friday with a Morning Reset gathering and White Collar Fight Night, where Austin professionals compete in boxing matches.

Many events require advance registration through Luma or other platforms. A complete schedule is available at austintech.com.
