All the Details about DC Austin in One Place
Growing a business is difficult. We believe in-person events are a fantastic way to build your business and meet fellow entrepreneurs who are doing the same. It is a chance to take a step back from the day-to-day craziness and get a fresh perspective on your goals and challenges.
For someone who is new to the DC, attending an event is a great way to get introduced to the community. We think through the entire experience and handle all of the details including help you connect with likeminds so that you focus on being present and finding ways to grow your business over the weekend.
In fact, some of the most active and well-connected members first joined the DC by attending an event. This even includes a couple of the speakers who will be sharing their knowledge at DC Austin.

Who are the speakers?
WP Engine Founder
What makes Jason unique is that he openly shares many perspectives and insights on his blog - A Smart Bear - that most founders never talk about or share (or frankly, see in the first place). He’ll be talking about one perspective - founder mindset- and in the process opening up about his struggles with impostor syndrome
Laura Roeder
Edgar Founder
She’ll be talking about a system to hiring and a management process that allows her team of 30 full-time employees to create growth.
Zach Obront
Co-founded Book in a Box with Tucker Max
Many entrepreneurs think that "Productized services can't scale? Well, Zach scaled Book in a Box to over $10M through systems, effective hiring and well, hard work. He's gonna share how he did it.
Cathryn Lavery and Allen Brouwer
Co-founders of Best Self Co.
Physical products more your thing? Cathryn and Allen will talk about how to scale a million-dollar physical products company in less than 2 years.

The reason we put these events on is because our mission is to get entrepreneurs in the same room, talking and meeting each other. That’s where the magic happens. It’s that simple. We spend a ton of time and resources because we truly believe that the relationships we help foster will become something bigger.
We hope you’ll do your part and join everyone.
