Michael,
Thank you for championing the startup entrepreneurs, dreamers, investors and services providers from across the DFW metroplex. Your words and actions encouraging our community to “work together”, to “think big” and to “go for it” will long remain. All the best to you and your family in your next adventure and be sure to stay in touch. Best, Andy Hale

My Basque husband Jesus wants for our family to do the same! It is our dream and our daughter Ana Maria is 11 and after she finishes 5th grade — we will homeschool her. We love that you are doing this and are inspiring us to put a plan together and do the same. Our business is also virtual. Hope to run into you guys in Florida!

In reply to Brent.

There is a lot of stuff happening in Frisco! Find Kevin Strawbridge, Kirk Ballou, LaunchPad City, Blue Star Accelerator, and most certainly the #frisco channel in the DFW Startup Community Slack. That Slack is approaching 1,200 people as of this post! 🙂 There isn’t a torch to pass… it’s created by people that want to see everyone do better.

I’ve always thought the DFW startup scene was a bit listless, but you were able to summon and channel the available energy and worked as great ambassador for the space. Admittedly, I’ve been less involved than I should’ve in recent years – I like to blame being in Frisco. Please let us know who you\ are passing the torch to as well. Enjoy the ride..

In reply to Blake Burris.

Hey Blake. I’m familiar with the community for sure. What I intended with that statement is that she started my reintroduction to Dallas, not the modern community. “When I first arrived in 2013, remarkable people welcomed me. Gabriella Draney Zielke started it all…”. Its a phrasing issue.

No doubt you, Alex, Dave Copps, Jeff, Bradley and host of others were doing things way before I came back to Dallas. It’s what Cohabitat was… this reintro was in 2013, after that had run its course.
