For two years we have hosted and sponsored Dallas’ premier entrepreneurial event: The Startup Happy Hour. Over 2,500 entrepreneurs from the North Texas area have joined us for a few drinks and a lot of networking.

Starting in October we are changing the venue and the format. Moving from the High Tech Bar to our new offices in Campbell Centre the event will now feature a short program and guest speaker each month. We are also opening up sponsorship opportunities. We are simply attempting to cover our hard event costs (primarily beverages).

Our October event is already filled 48 entrepreneurs on the event wait list. Learn more here: http://www.meetup.com/Dallas-Startup-Happy-Hour/

Specifically, we would like to invite you to join Architel® as one of our featured sponsors. There will only be four year-long featured sponsorship opportunities. Featured sponsorship includes:

• M2 Banner (as seen to right) with logo and art acceptable to you (co-branding to include small Architel logo at bottom) displayed in the venue for 12 months.
• Each featured sponsor will be allowed a short 5-minute presentation during the program portion of the each event three times during the 12-month sponsorship.
• Monthly recognition at start of program.
• Ability to distribute ‘schwag’ at each event.

Cost: $3,000 (beverage costs for each event average $1,000 x 3 events). Banner is $512 from Displays to go. Email jdonica@architel.com to let us know if you are interested.
