In the ever-growing world of tech startup companies, there's one thing almost all of them have in common, regardless of what they actually do, and that's a game room. No startup company's office blueprint is complete without a place where employees can unwind after a day of meetings over the ping-pong or foosball table. The Startup Games in Austin take this common denominator and make it into something meaningful for local charities.
At the Startup Games on January 21st at Fair Market, 16 "teams" representing different local startups face off in the name of charity. Each team selects a charity that they'd like to support, and then they compete against other tech startups for the title of victor and a cash donation to their chosen organization. Even if your team doesn't win, your charity still receives some support, so this is a great team-building activity for a good cause. Be sure to check it out this month!
