In Texas, it is well known that
Austin is the place to go for unique business start ups, especially if they are

abound and that is probably not going to change any time soon.
Houston may not be the capitol
city of the state, but as the “Energy Capitol” of the world it is flush with financial
capital and rich in home grown entrepreneurial talent.
Last week, Red Labs of the
University of Houston, and OwlSpark, of Rice University, hosted a joint event
called the Bayou Startup Showcase, which gave students of both schools a forum
to pitch their businesses to an audience of their peers, the media, and
potential investors.
