SUMMARY:Ecosistema de Innovación en salud / Ecosystem Innovation in Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:As healthcare systems face increasing complexity\, innovation is no longer driven by isolated breakthroughs—but by the strength of the ecosystems behind them. \nIn this session\, Kevin Koym explores how interconnected networks of entrepreneurs\, institutions\, investors\, and policymakers are reshaping the future of healthcare. Drawing from Tech Ranch’s global work building innovation ecosystems\, he will share how collaboration (not competition) is the key to accelerating solutions that scale across borders. \nThis conversation will challenge traditional approaches to innovation and offer a new perspective: one where healthcare transformation is built through intentional connections\, shared infrastructure\, and cross-sector alignment. \nIf you’re working in health\, policy\, or innovation\, and want to understand how to be part of something bigger than a single solution\, this session is for you. \nRegister here: https://beacons.ai/economia.guadalupe

SUMMARY:Why Austin is overtaking Silicon Valley for international startups — and how to prepare for the USA ecosystem before you even arrive
DESCRIPTION:On April 1st\, 2026\, at Progetto Manifattura in Rovereto\, Kevin Koym will join Federico Stefani and Francesca Gottardi for a conversation about a shift many global founders are starting to notice: Austin is quickly becoming a powerful gateway for international startups entering the U.S. market. Kevin will share lessons from decades of working alongside entrepreneurs across more than 40 countries through Tech Ranch—focusing on what founders need to understand before they arrive in the United States: the mindset\, relationships\, and ecosystem connections that make cross-border growth actually work. This discussion brings together entrepreneurs\, ecosystem leaders\, and policymakers who believe that when the right networks connect\, innovation moves faster and global opportunities become real pathways\, not just ambitions. The session will be followed by networking and an aperitivo to continue the conversation.

SUMMARY:Pull Up a Chair: Tech Ranch Office Hour (Europe Edition)
DESCRIPTION:Want a chance to experience what it’s like to be coached by Tech Ranch—through a European lens? \nPull Up a Chair: Tech Ranch Office Hour (Europe Edition) is a guided\, open conversation for European founders navigating the real challenges of building and scaling across the United States and beyond. \nJoin us on May 7th at 11AM Austin time for a space where you can think out loud\, ask the questions you don’t usually get to ask\, and gain perspective grounded in real-world global experience. \nThis isn’t a webinar. It’s a working table. \nYou’ll be joined by Tech Ranch CEO Kevin Koym\, alongside Severine—a global ecosystem builder and multi-perspective operator who has worked across entrepreneur support\, startup founding\, strategic operations\, and engineering within large-scale corporate environments. Together\, she brings a depth of insight shaped by international ecosystems\, European market dynamics\, and the realities of scaling beyond borders. \nSeverine’s work is focused on helping entrepreneurs navigate both strategic and operational hurdles in diverse markets—while fostering the kind of global connectivity that allows startup ecosystems to truly thrive. \nNo pitches. No presentations. Just honest conversation\, practical insight\, and clarity on your next step. \nWhether you’re navigating regulatory complexity\, entering new markets\, or aligning your venture for international growth\, this is where the conversation gets real. \nBecause at Tech Ranch\, we don’t build towers\, we build tables. If you’re building something that matters (and Europe is part of your journey) there’s a seat waiting for you. \nPull up a chair and step into a global network designed to help you scale smarter\, faster\, and with purpose. \n  \nRSVP HERE

SUMMARY:Bodega and Small Business Innovation Summit - Digitizing the Corner Store
DESCRIPTION:There are 15\,000 bodegas in New York City. They move billions in commerce. And almost none of them run on modern infrastructure. \nThat’s not a problem — it’s a massive\, untapped opportunity. \nThe Bodega and Small Business Innovation Summit gathers the sharpest minds in media tech\, AI\, fintech\, and security to unpack a radical thesis: the corner store is the next great platform — if we build the right tools and protect what makes it matter. \nThis isn’t about slapping an iPad on a deli counter. The panel introduces the “Sovereign Bodega” framework — integrated digital systems that let small businesses unlock new revenue streams\, compete with chains\, and scale on their own terms. Modernization without displacement. Tech without erasure. \nHosted by the Bodega and Small Business Association\, Tech Ranch\, Bodegas TV\, and Angeles Investors during #NYTechWeek\, this is where community-rooted commerce meets institutional capital. \nIf you’re allocating toward urban retail\, local commerce infrastructure\, or AI-powered SMB tools — this panel is your deal flow. Grab your spot before it’s gone. \nThis conversation brings together founders\, operators\, and technologists to explore how integrated systems—not isolated tools—can redefine the future of small business in urban communities. \nThis event is hosted by Bodega and Small Business Association\, Tech Ranch. Collaborators also include Bodegas TV and Angeles Investors. \nThis event is a part of #NYTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. \nRSVP HERE

SUMMARY:AI in Education MiniSummit
DESCRIPTION:A Tech Ranch conversation on what is actually working in the classroom\, and what is coming next\nTuesday\, July 14\, 2026 | 3:00 – 4:30pm CDT | Live on Zoom \nEveryone agrees AI is going to reshape education. Far fewer people can tell you what that looks like on a Tuesday morning in a real classroom. This MiniSummit brings together educators\, founders\, and practitioners who are doing the actual work\, so you can hear what is happening now\, not just the hype. \nModerated by Kevin Koym\, founder of Tech Ranch\, the panel will dig into questions like: Where is the gap between what schools teach and what the workforce needs\, and can AI help close it? How are teachers\, students\, and administrators really using AI day to day? What do we make of the counter-trends\, the schools going back to paper\, banning phones\, and blocking AI altogether? And what does great AI-era education look like for the next generation of students and builders? \nCome with your own questions. This is meant to be a working conversation\, not a lecture. \nWho you will hear from\nJenn Clemente is Principal Consultant at Raizon-8 and the 2025 event board co-chair of the Austin AI Alliance. A former foreign correspondent who covered the Balkan wars\, she specializes in corporate storytelling\, strategic communications\, and AI strategy\, with past roles at D-Wave Quantum\, VMware\, and IBM. She recently led the first-of-its-kind DreamBuilders workshop\, teaching 4th through 8th graders at Alpha School in Brownsville to turn their dreams into AI-generated films. \nTonja O’Neill is a strategic technology leader who spans both worlds this summit is about. After a career in software development\, program management\, and business consulting\, including founding her firm Soverex\, she moved into the classroom to teach Computer Science\, Mathematics\, and Finance at the high school level. There she led an AI pilot program\, gave students a real-world defect-tracking experience\, and built two distinct six-week programming curricula: one taking students from Python fundamentals through an original data project\, concept to data-gathering to finished product\, entirely without AI; the other built around using AI as an amplifier\, where students learned to debug AI-generated code and direct AI to architect an original program to their own vision. She also advised district leadership on tech curricula and EdTech platform selection. She holds an MBA from UT Austin and a BS in Computer Science from Texas A&M\, and is a Certified ScrumMaster and Distinguished Toastmaster. \nTom Haymes is a technologist\, educator\, and social scientist\, and the author of Learn at Your Own Risk and Discovering Digital Humanity. He was the design lead for Houston Community College’s West Houston Institute and has served as Storyteller in Residence for Arizona State University’s ShapingEDU Project. Through his practice IdeaSpaces\, he helps institutions rethink how learning happens in physical and digital environments. \nSteven Galbraith is founder of Tappy\, a Tampa-based edtech company. Tappy is a 24/7 AI tutoring platform for K-12 students in math\, science\, and language arts\, giving students personalized\, step-by-step help while showing teachers real-time dashboards of student progress. He is a strong advocate for transparent\, “no black box” AI in learning. \nHosted by Tech Ranch Austin. Free to attend. The session will be recorded. \nJoin on Zoom
