Get inspired by members of Houston's startup and creative community Thursday (November 2), from 6-9 pm, at The Founders Festival presented by The Cannon.
The roster of innovators includes nine power players profiled by CultureMap, from The Cannon owner and CEO Lawson Gow to Brad Rossacci of 900lbs of Creative to Katy Aucoin of dearduck.
They'll team up at The Founders Festival to offer advice and showcase their inventive brands.
Guests can check out Aucoin’s dearduck company, which delivers hyper-personalized gift recommendations to ensure you make the best choices, and Rossacci’s 900lbs of Creative, a lab and marketing design studio which uses such cool tech toys as virtual reality and augmented reality to help Fortune 500 companies distinguish themselves to consumers in an unforgettable way.
Gow will host the evening at his new 17-acre coworking campus, The Cannon, which launches Thursday. The campus, located near Houston's Energy Corridor, aims to bring together a diverse business community, provide opportunities for companies to raise capital, participate in an incubator program, and attract top talent.
