The Techxas partners are supported by an active team of advisors, each having held CEO, executive or board positions in early-stage technology companies. These are people we have known and worked with for years. They have chosen to do more than allow us to use their names--they are all investors in the Techxas Ventures investment program. This group meets regularly with the Partners, and participates in the activities of Techxas Ventures portfolio companies according to their particular interest and experience.
