The real Big News this week is Hurricane Harvey — please check on your friends and neighbors.

Also, give your Texas-based employees/partners/vendors some extra slack as they clean up from flooding and power loss. Speaking of no or spotty power, this is relevant from the Austin-American Statesman: Hurricane Harvey: Here’s how to use the internet when you don’t have access to the internet — Link


Regional Innovators Start Work to Promote Texas Ecosystem as a Whole — Link

- Xconomy’s Angela Shah

Capital Factory had a particularly good week.

The executives and staff put on a phenomenal Women in Tech Summit, hosted the Apple’s Tim Cook, and screened 15 new startups for their accelerator — all while managing their normal (heavy) load of events, coworking, and mentor office hours. Kudos.

Thx @JoshuaBaer for a fantastic morning @CapitalFactory. Developer creativity is off the charts. We’re as excited about iOS 11 as you are! pic.twitter.com/lCe0mI2mtr
