To the mastermind behind @AtxStartupWeek, @JacquelinesLife who has poured countless hours into the growth & immense success of this incredible community leading event.
2023 dates are LIVE @AtxStartupWeek
In addition to her incredible work @KauffmanFellows
A colleague recently referred to me as "the duck" on the team after we closed out a big event – a calm demeanor above the surface and purposeful paddling beneath it. I think I've found my perfect mascot! 🦆
