A brand new 22,000 square foot startup space was brimming with life this morning at the press conference that launched the Capital Factory space.

You know that you’re making waves when a launch event turns up Austin legends like Pike Powers, Carol Thompson, and Lee Leffingwell in the same room as 20-something t-shirt wearing entrepreneurs. Today, Austin is the beneficiary of a new, large, and vibrant startup and co-working space in the heart of the Central Business District. Just a stone’s throw from 6th Street and the Convention Center, I can only imagine the 24-hour frenzy that will happen during SXSW.
