Y'all have been asking, and Houston... you're getting a second one.
We're bringing back one of our most fun ones and this time you already know what it is. But if you're new here, this one is a little different.
You don't need to pitch someone if you don't want to. We will have a few people pitching their friends. If you'd like to pitch, let us know.
This isn't just a singles night. This is a Pitch a Friend night.
Come prepared. Because we know you've been talking about your forever bachelor bestie for years. The one you've been trying to set up since forever. The one who's great, funny, successful, and somehow still single. Well, this is their moment. And yours.
Everyone in that room is showing up with someone to pitch. Which means everyone in that room is exactly who you've been looking for.
No host. No forced mixers. No awkward icebreakers.
Just a room full of South Asians who came ready, came intentional, and maybe, just maybe, came to change someone's life.
Come single. Come together. Either way, come ready to pitch, because your people are waiting on the other side of that introduction.
Your ticket includes a welcome drink to get the night started right.
Space is limited and this is DOTC ticketed only, meaning everyone here knows exactly what they signed up for.
See you there, Houston!
Dress Code: All the neutrals. Fall is coming, and we want you dressed for it.
No refunds. If you can't make it, please update your RSVP so we can manage the room and make sure it's the best experience for everyone. Thank you ♡ By attending, you acknowledge photos/videos may be taken for promotional purposes.

State of the Commons 2026 HIC End-of-Year Gathering & Social Join Houston Innovation Commons for our final gathering of 2026 — an evening to reconnect, reflect on what we’ve learned together, and look ahead to the questions Houston’s innovation ecosystem should tackle next. Throughout the year, HIC has brought together founders, investors, operators, ecosystem leaders, and community members to interrogate some of the persistent challenges facing innovation-driven entrepreneurship in Houston. We’ve asked questions about technical talent, incubators and accelerators, early-stage capital, and the infrastructure that helps promising ideas move forward. At State of the Commons 2026, we’ll bring those investigations together for the first time. State of the Commons We’ll share a short annual briefing synthesizing what we heard and discovered across the year: What patterns emerged across our investigations? Where does Houston’s innovation ecosystem appear to be working well? Where does friction continue to show up? What have we learned that changes how we understand the problem? What questions and opportunities deserve greater attention in 2027? This won’t just be a recap of HIC events. It’s an attempt to step back, connect the dots, and take stock of the state of Houston’s innovation commons. And then, we celebrate. The rest of the evening is an open house and social. Come grab a drink, eat, reconnect with people you’ve met through HIC, meet someone new, explore some of the findings from the year, and help us think about where the Commons goes next. So expect: State of the Commons annual briefing Food + drinks A little end-of-year atmosphere Plenty of time to actually hang out Whether you joined us for one gathering or have been part of the Commons throughout the year, we’d love to close out 2026 with you. Hosted by Houston Innovation Commons Houston Innovation Commons is a community-driven effort to better understand the friction within Houston’s innovation ecosystem
