A peek at what Friday's looking like so far...

Coffee, mimosas, and bites at the eBridge Center to start, then the Main Stage got into Leadership: Leading When There's No Blueprint and Smart Money, New Wealth with Karin Kusano, President of the Texas Chapter of the Association of Women in Crypto, on how women are actually building wealth right now. The conversation moves over to Jolie Petite around noon for a midday session before heading back to the Main Stage.

How women build wealth is changing, and most financial advice hasn't caught up. Karin Kusano, President of the Texas Chapter of the Association of Women in Crypto, takes the Main Stage at RGV Startup Week 2026 presented by Supply Pay to get into what's actually working now: traditional investing, crypto, digital assets, and how to think smart about growing your money no matter where you're starting from.

Most leadership advice assumes there's a plan. Most of the time, there isn't. This panel takes the Main Stage at RGV Startup Week 2026 presented by Supply Pay for an honest conversation about leading when the playbook doesn't exist yet. How you make calls without enough information, how you lead people through it, and what it takes to keep moving when the system around you wasn't designed with you in mind.

Opening a restaurant takes way more than a menu and a dream. Local RGV restaurant owners take the Main Stage at RGV Startup Week 2026 presented by SupplyPay to talk about permits, real estate, surprise costs, lessons learned, and what it really takes to open in Brownsville. The conversation gets into the parts of food entrepreneurship people usually find out too late.
