A-List
|
"In efforts to increase the visibility of some of Austin’s great regional technology startups seeking funding, the Austin Chamber created the Austin A-List. The Austin A-List is a concept taken from a well-known Hollywood project list started in 2005 named The Black List, which sprouted from Leonardo DiCaprio’s film production company, which sought great screenplays in need of producing.
Just as the Black List has clearly become the “go to” source for new projects by interested investors and production executives, the Austin A-List hopes to become an easy source for tech startup investors."
