ENTREPRENEURS' INVITATIONAL
Wednesday, November 18, 2026 | 5:30 p.m. CT
800 Congress, Austin,TX 78701
The Next Hand in a Long Tradition
For nearly two decades, the Entrepreneurs’ Invitational has brought together founders, operators, investors, and friends for an evening that blends old-school Austin energy with a new wave of innovators.
Part tournament, part reunion, the evening is about camaraderie, spirited competition, and the kind of connection that reminds us why community matters.
We will recognize Capital Factory with our Builder of Builders Award and are featuring Station Texas, a nonprofit powered by Capital Factory, to unify and scale the state’s innovation infrastructure by connecting founders, funders, universities, and government by providing education, training, and support. Amy & Noah Baer will accept the Builder of Builders Award on Capital Factory’s behalf.
Last year, Vinny Lingham claimed the High Roller title, while Adam Lyons, Branigan Mulcahy, and Morgan Flager finished at the top of the General Tournament.
In 2026, the cards will be dealt again.
Limited seats. Meaningful stakes. Take your seat at the table.
This is a private, invite-only event. If you are a part of the entrepreneurial, tech or startup ecosystem in Austin and would like to be dealt in, please email us for a registration code.
Because what you bring to the table matters.
Culturati: shaping better leaders and cultures, together, so that our companies, communities, and employees can thrive.
