TechCrunch Live records weekly on TechCrunch.com. It’s free to join, ask questions, and participate in Pitch Practice where attendees get two minutes to practice their company pitch in front of investors and company CEOs.

This is a special edition of TechCrunch Live. We took a virtual trip to Austin, and spoke with investors and founders living and thriving in the city.

The first panel features the CEO of The Zebra and Silverton partner Morgan Flager who break down The Zebra’s incredible growth after moving to Austin from Pittsburgh.

The second panel features local investors who reveal what type of startups they’re investing in, what makes a good Austin founder, and the challenges still facing the growing startup ecosystem.

Finally, three companies participate in a pitch-off with one company winning an exhibition spot at TechCrunch Disrupt 2022.
