In this episode of Austin Tech Connect, Thom Singer sits down with Jason Parrish, co-founder of Altus Nova, for a candid conversation about the evolution of Austin’s tech scene and his personal journey as a founder. Jason reflects on arriving in Austin in the late '80s, launching his first startup in the early '90s, and how legendary figures like Dr. George Kozmetsky, Laura Kilcrease, Carmelo Gordian, and others, played pivotal roles in shaping his entrepreneurial path.
They explore the early days of product development, the lessons learned from rapid growth and tough exits, and how strategic thinking and trusted relationships have fueled Jason’s current work at Altus Nova... a boutique product strategy and software development firm. Jason also shares what he sees as Austin’s biggest opportunities and challenges going forward, and why he remains optimistic about the new generation of talent moving to Central Texas.
This episode is full of insight, nostalgia, and hard-won wisdom from someone who helped build the foundation of Austin tech. If you’re interested in where we’ve been, how far we’ve come, and what’s next... don’t miss this one.
