Join the Red Fridge Society and our neighbors, BodyLab @ Pure Yoga, the Viceroy Residences Austin, and GrooveATX, as we bring back our annual block party for the Texas Venture Fest in Austin. We are co-hosting with a set of VCs, including Ballistic Ventures, the Lifestyle Investor, Raido Capital, Ionic Partners, Tuesday Capital, RF Investment Partners, founderpath, Maroon Pass, and more! We will have tacos by Fareground, beer from Holdout Brewing, wines from Clos DuBreuil, a Lalo Tequila bar, and other local partners. Also enjoy live music from the West Texas Exiles! We are a shuttle stop to the rest of the Venture Fest, and we start a little earlier and run a little later than the other locations. Although we recommend ridesharing, there is endless free street parking on Oakland Ave across 6th Street (and a few spots between 5th and 6th). So come early and stay late at the Fridge!
