Hmm, I don't see this as a problem at all. Austin was a great place to be a software developer before that 2013 investment record they list. The cost of living is such that bootstrapping is the way things are done.
I don't see anyone hurting and it isn't raining money. So give it a little time, let those funds find a few exits and we can do it all again.
Deep Eddy Vodka and Sweet Leaf Tea aren't tech startups. If anyone wants to know why Deep Eddy Vodka was successful look just as far as the name. It tapped into some deep Austin history that everyone was familiar with. Made it instantly familiar. I'm still sad that tree got sick and they had to take it down.
