Austin, TX, April 23, 2014 – Austin’s premier startup accelerator, Capital Factory, is a driving force in growing the technology economy. Capital Factory incubates top technology companies and provides a hub for all startup activity in Austin. Joshua Baer, himself a successful entrepreneur, started Capital Factory.
As recognition of the economic impact that Capital Factory has, when President Obama came to Austin recently, he spent an afternoon at the Capital Factory headquarters meeting with Joshua Baer and several of the Capital Factory startup companies. Capital Factory meets all of the tech startups in Austin and invests in the best ones. They believe that Austin is extremely well-positioned for the next decade and that technology will continue to be a major driver of economic growth.
