Road Trip to Houston - The Innovation Ecosystem with Houston Exponential

Austin Next is still on the road and today we are visiting another point of the Texas Triangle. Houston has been on a tear the last few years growing from $400M in annual startup funding in 2018 to crossing the $2B threshold last year.  There is the Texas Medical Center, the Ion, Rice University, and many more influential and growing institutions.  Today we dive into the Houston innovation ecosystem with Lawson Gow and Chris Buckner the forces now behind Houston Exponential.   

What's next Houston?
