Hey Gildre Titans!,
Need some advice or tips here. How have folks here been able to secure their first few beta and paid clients? I'm working on an idea using Gen AI for ordering at restaurants. It's been quite challenging securing just a beta client to run with as we develop an MVP. Wondering how y'all would do this. Also, any intro to owners of small-sized restaurants in the Austin area would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

If anyone is looking for reasonably priced office space, know of a few founders getting together on a house lease to establish a founder's house / co-working space of sorts.

Hey Austin Gildre crowd! 👋

Hi everyone! We're excited to roll out our local city channels for those based in our major Gildre hubs. We want this channel to be a space where you can:

• Share local events/meetups
• Invite others to coffee, drinks, dinner, or just connect
• Chat with others in the local entrepreneurial ecosystem and develop partnerships/synergies
We'll share local events we find within your city in this channel and encourage you to do the same if you find anything notable! Have fun and we hope you continue to make some great connections within the Gildre community. As always you can use the Gildre Membership Directory to filter and find other members across the world!
