Meeting Cory Bray startup founder of CoachCRM that does stand-up comedy in his spare time.

We heard that Austin has one of the worlds biggest startup scene communities in the world. This is the main reason for choosing this as our first stop. We asked a few people here why this is the case. The one thing in common is that people and organizations want you to succeed. Depending on where you come from this may or may not be a strange concept. Why would others support strangers and want the best for them? This mystery still needs to be solved.

Until that is answered, we have been trying to maximize our short time here. With it being Easter weekend, we had to compress a compressed schedule even more. We went from one meetup to the next. Again the one thing in common was people looking out for each other, connecting and supporting each others startup journeys were they could. People come here because they can feel this magical attraction to a fertile environment in which startup dreams’ seeds can be planted and nurtured.

We have met founders that were ahead and behind us in their journeys, but all headed toward the same destination of wanting their startups to reach their full potential.
