Startup over Coffee started as a Startup Tech empowerment movement in early 2010. The origin of the name Startup over Coffee came about thanks in part to the location of the first meetings, which were at many trendy coffee shops around Austin, Texas. Late in 2010 Startup over Coffee took on a more formal existence with speakers and workshops led by experts from media, PR and marketing professions.
Startup over Coffee has since become a “safe” place for Startup entrepreneurs, business students, and other professionals to connect with media experts with backgrounds as diverse as video marketing to crisis communications.
