Startup Grind-Aggieland is hosting a free Shark Tank Watch Party to celebrate a manufacturing startup that launched from Bryan, TX, in the 1876 Ventures studio at the former RS/DesignSpark Innovation Center! Join us on Wed., Jan. 21, from 8-10 pm for this casual networking event at The Stella Hotel in Hershel's Speakeasy. (18 and older please.) We will cheer on the founders as they appear on the popular ABC-TV show, the first of two 1876 Ventures' startup members to qualify for the show this year. (The other startup is a student-owned company.)
Hershel's is a comfortable venue in the Lake Walk, TX mixed-use development located across the street from Texas A&M University's Golf Lodges at Traditions Club. (This event takes place the night before Plug and Play Technology Center hosts their 2nd Demo Day at Traditions Club, featuring another A&M startup that pitched at 1876 Ventures' Draper Investor Day in 2021 at Lake Walk, TX in the former innovation center, now owned by one of the one-year-old defense startups that was among two defense startup tenants at the center to raise millions.)
