Back by popular demand! The holiday season is the best time to celebrate with Houston-area Entrepreneurs, Startup Teams, local Investors, and Innovation Enthusiasts - this time we're taking over Solarium on Holman (in mid-town). This year the "OG" Jingle Mingle team (Bayou City Startups, Rocket Network, and Founder Institute - Houston) have created a casual community holiday celebration! This collaborative occasion attracts local Startup Development Organizations, Startup Companies (Founders & Teams), a variety of Startup Stakeholders, as well as locally loved Startup Champions. No tickets this year, just pay-as-you-go for drinks and food. As always, there will be the chance to win prizes for the ugliest sweaters, and 🎅 Startup Santa! 🎅

In the sprit of giving this holiday season - consider making a donation to The Houston Food Bank (https://www.houstonfoodbank.org).
