1881 After Hours: Beyond VC

Join 1881 Ventures on Wednesday, May 20 from 8:00 PM–10:00 PM for an after-hours conversation on creative startup funding beyond traditional venture capital.

In a city where venture capital access is limited, founders have to think differently. Beyond VC is designed for founders, builders, and aspiring entrepreneurs ready to explore non-dilutive funding, alternative capital pathways, and practical strategies to get ventures to market.

We’re excited to welcome Kurt Walker from Las Vegas — adventure capitalist, ecosystem builder, and startup finance expert with 20+ years of experience across startup lending, venture capital, angel investing, and private equity.

Kurt is passionate about helping founders streamline fundraising, sharpen go-to-market strategy, and build ventures that last.

Come connect, learn, and rethink what startup growth can look like outside the traditional VC model.

After years of building, growing, and learning alongside this community… we’re excited to share:

STTE Foundation is now 1881 Ventures.

Since 2018, STTE has been driven by one belief: talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.

Together, we’ve helped founders launch companies, build confidence, and shape a more connected startup ecosystem across El Paso and beyond.

But as our ecosystem has grown, so have the needs of our founders. Starting is no longer the biggest barrier—access to capital is.

That’s why we’ve evolved.

1881 Ventures represents a deeper commitment to founders—supporting the full journey from idea → growth → investment.

Through case-intensive guidance, education, networks, and our sister organization Sun Cruces Angels, we’re working to unlock early-stage capital right here in the Borderplex.

Because great companies don’t just need funding—
They need belief early.
They need people who show up before anyone else does.

That’s what 1881 Ventures is here to build.

This is more than a name change. It’s the next chapter.

👉 Follow along as we roll out new programs, events, and opportunities

Let’s keep building—together.
