SUMMARY:Campfire is back
DESCRIPTION:Campfire is back.\nOn Thursday\, August 13\, we’re bringing Campfire back to Tech Ranch. \nCampfire has always been about something simple: getting the right people in the room and helping them move something forward. \nOver the years\, I’ve watched one introduction lead to a customer\, a partner\, a new market\, or the answer someone had been stuck looking for. That’s the kind of thing we want to create more of. \nSo this won’t be a typical networking event. You don’t need a polished pitch\, and you don’t need to work the room. \nCome ready to talk about what you’re building and what you need right now. \nWe’ll hear from entrepreneurs in the room\, look for the connections that matter\, and help people find the two or three conversations that could make a real difference. \nSome people will come because they’ve been part of Tech Ranch for years. Others will be walking through the door for the first time. Both are welcome. \nBring your venture. Bring the thing you’re stuck on. Bring your willingness to help someone else\, too. \nThursday\, August 13\n6:00–8:00 PM\nTech Ranch\, 535 E 5th Street\nFree to attend · Limited to 75 people \nPull up a chair and be part of the first Campfire back. \nReserve your spot and come build the relationships that can move your venture forward. \nCampfire will continue monthly\, usually on the second Wednesday\, alternating between in-person and virtual. August 13 is a one-time Thursday relaunch.

SUMMARY:Celebration of Life for Susan Strausberg
DESCRIPTION:Susan Strausberg was a Tech Ranch mentor and one of the people who made the Austin technology community what it is. Her family is hosting a virtual Celebration of Life\, and everyone who knew her is welcome. \nSunday\, August 16\, 2026\, 3:00 to 4:30 PM CT (Zoom room open until 5:00 PM). \nRegister in advance: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/u3UbHYG4SlKlYcSiMZjH5w \nSusan co-founded EDGAR Online in 1995 and served as CEO for thirteen years. EDGAR Online was the first commercial internet distributor of SEC-based financial information\, and it did something that still matters: it took data that had been locked away for professionals and put it in reach of everyone else. That is democratizing access to information\, and she was doing it before most people understood why it was important. RR Donnelley acquired the company in 2012. \nShe moved from New York to Austin in 2010 and co-founded 9W Search. She showed up for this community over and over\, on panels\, in programs\, and as a mentor to founders who needed someone who had actually been through it. She was a Springboard Enterprises alumna and spent a career opening doors for women in an industry that was not opening them on its own. \nLong before any of that\, she edited and published The Women’s Guide to Books\, a two volume catalog of works by notable women\, with a board of consultants that included Gloria Steinem\, Joan Ganz Cooney\, and Nora Ephron. \nHer daughter Laura is convening friends and family from every chapter of her life\, childhood through EDGAR Online\, film\, Austin\, and Ledgestone\, to share memories and stories. Come listen\, laugh\, and remember with us. \nIf you have a memory or story of Susan\, Laura is collecting them ahead of time at Laura_J_Strausberg@Hotmail.com. \nDivInc is naming its Women in Tech Accelerator in her honor. She spent her life opening doors for women\, and now her name is on one of them. In lieu of flowers\, gifts in her memory can go to DivInc: Donate here. \nHer Tech Ranch mentor page is still live at techranchaustin.com/mentors/susan-strausberg/.
