Capital Factory

Today we go downtown to Capital Factory, a veritable Shangrila for any entrepreneur that comes to Texas. Built to help entrepreneurs find information and funds to help with their business endeavours, it acts as a great social space to meet like-minded people too. They also have an extensive list of mentors that can help guide you and they’re situated smack in the middle of downtown Austin. After talking to Ali, one of the coordinators there, it’s obvious why so many people choose to join their programmes, and it leaves me wanting to join a program too! - Ali Syed Time Stamps: 2:15 - How long Capital Factory has been in existence and what they offer. 4:27 - The investment side of Capital Factory and how they accelerate companies. 7:22 - The average investments that Capital Factory makes and how they help companies find other investors as well. 8:04 - The different types of memberships and how helpful mentors can be. 9:42 - The extent of Capital Factories international presence. 10:38 - How welcoming Texas is to international entrepreneurs. 14:47 - How Capital Factory helps people with the lifestyle change that comes with moving abroad. 16:42 - The differences in business culture and language in America compared to Europe. 17:56 - How failure is accepted and even embraced in American culture. 19:57 - The types of people that are likely to succeed, or not, in America. 21:13 - The number of people that work at Capital Factory.
