A rooftop. Real data. And a conversation on what it actually takes to raise in the U.S. ๐ธ๐ช๐ค๐บ๐ธ
Last night, SACC Texas hosted Eric Engineer from S3 Ventures and Henrik Johansson for an evening on the state of U.S. venture and the Nordic opportunity within it.
Q1 2026 set a new record: $267B invested, 2x the prior peak. Texas is rising fast, #3 in the nation with $5.8B raised in just the first quarter. For Nordic founders, the message was clear: the appetite is there, but walking into a U.S. VC meeting ready is what separates those who close from those who don't.
Thank you to everyone who joined us at 215 Brazos Street in Austin. These are the conversations SACC Texas was built for.
