San Antonio’s innovation community came together yesterday for Tech Day. Rain or shine, San Antonio showed up in full force!
Our theme, “Made in San Antonio / Hecho en San Antonio,” was about recognizing the founders, builders, intrapreneurs, investors, students, professors, and leaders helping shape the future of our city.
We had a packed room, meaningful conversations, and strong energy throughout the day. Across startups, capital, aerospace, bioscience, big enterprise, and AI, one thing was clear: San Antonio’s momentum is real.
It was also exciting to see organizations like @bexarecd@techbloc , @velocitytx , @geekdomsa , @port_san_antonio , and the @greatersachamber@devsatx@vemos.vamos come together to help push the momentum forward and continue building a stronger innovation ecosystem, one that breaks down silos and builds bridges.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, volunteered, supported the event, and helped make Tech Day such a success. Big shoutout to 434 Media for producing this event! The future of San Antonio’s innovation economy is not something we wait for, it’s something we build together.
Retrospective Pt. 004
Some conversations don’t just fill a room, they shift it.
Building the Engine: Big. Real. Future. San Antonio, State of Innovation, Tech, and Entrepreneurship was one of those.
Led by Saige Thomas with Charles Woodin (Geekdom), Emily Binet Royell (Partners for Public Good), and Matthew Espinosa (Launch SA) — this was a real, unfiltered look at where San Antonio actually stands.
What’s working.
What’s fragmented.
And what becomes possible when we stop building in silos and start building together.
Because the truth is, San Antonio doesn’t lack talent or vision.
What we’re still figuring out… is alignment.
And this conversation leaned into that.
Open. Honest. Necessary.
For me, it hit different, these are people I respect and call friends. Seeing them speak truth about the city we’re all building in… that’s what this was about.
Not just ideas. But momentum.
Big. Real. Future.

Building something meaningful doesn’t happen alone.
This month’s Women Founders Network featured Marissa Gámez Carriera, the visionary behind Mira Matcha, and she reminded us exactly why community is everything.
Without it? Building a small business is so much harder. With it? Everything changes.
That’s exactly what WFN is here for, a space where women founders show up, share honestly, and grow together.

Marissa Gámez Carriera is a veteran, founder, and creative director who took an unexpected turn and decided to bet on herself with Mira Matcha, and hasn't looked back since. 🍵
This Friday, Marissa is sharing that story at the Women Founders Network. If you're building something of your own, or even just thinking about it, you'll want to be in the room.
