Austin Entrepreneur & Inventor Support
Austin Inventors Syndicate is a new networking and mentoring organization for inventors and entrepreneurs, which have a well-established and distinguished history in Austin.
We seeks to “foster entrepreneurship through networking, mentoring and participating in the global economy”. Austin Inventors Syndicate has formalized the mentoring mission with a steady addition of programs that address the critical soft and hard skills needed by entrepreneurs and professionals. The first step in this direction will be an upcoming Mentoring Roundtable. We will then add Institute Workshops, a Book on getting started, and next year, a Nurture Entrepreneurship initiative.
