Several local serial philanthropists and entrepreneurs (now the Board of Directors) came together to create an event that combined charitable giving with networking, fun, and competition. The end goal was to be able to charge a company entry fee that would not be a deterrent to participation for growing companies while at the same time being able to cover the cost of the event and be able to give sizable donations to the selected charities. Roughly half of the money collected via entry fees and sponsorships is able to be donated to charities once the expense of the event is covered. Once the concept proved to generate the charitable donations and buzz desired, the team began planning on how to expand the Startup Games so that more philanthropy would be possible. 7 7 2 100 0 2040 923 86700 234464 0 50 88740 235437 30500 70000 0 86969 0 0 33625 70261 64125 227230 24615 8207 37987 46194 0 37987 46194 The idea for the Austin Startup Games was first conceived in mid-2012.
