👋 hey Austin, We’ve teamed up with our friends at Capital Factory to launch a new monthly event, Bitcoin Builders Club. Since early 2024, we’ve been exploring how to create a recurring event that truly fits Austin’s vibrant tech community—where people gather day and night, online and IRL, for meetups, classes, and co-working. Capital Factory has a strong network of investors, tech talent, and innovators. In fact, according to Pitchbook, they’ve been the most active investor in Texas since 2010. This makes them the perfect partner for our mission: meeting and introducing Bitcoin to builders where they are at. 💡Read more from @Car Cofounder of PlebLab:
