About This Event

TASTEMAKERS is a live startup show where founders sit down with a comedian for candid, unscripted interviews in front of three investor judges.

Each founder gets 15 minutes on stage. The comedian digs into the company, the founder’s story, and the strange, difficult, and funny realities of building something from scratch. At the end of each interview, the investor judges score the startup, with the founders competing to finish the night on top and win the cash prize.

The evening begins with a pre-show gathering where guests can meet founders, investors, comedians, and other members of Austin’s startup community. The live show begins at 7:30 PM, followed by an investor-focused afterparty.
