As always with the new Google Groups, images aren't coming through in email, so you're better off reading this here.

The lead item this week is my guest column at Houston InnovationMap on new 401k investment options that would spur Houston venture capital and innovation, which builds on an idea from an older post of mine here. In a nutshell, it is now possible for Houston employers to offer an option to their employees in their 401k plans that would channel retirement savings into Houston-focused venture capital, which could be a huge boost to the local startup scene. I'm hoping someone like Houston Exponential or the HX Venture Fund will pick up the idea and drive it forward - if you know anyone over there, please forward it! 

Moving on to this week's items:

“It’s an amazing time to be a Houstonian because it doesn’t matter where you’re from. Once you’re here, you’re welcomed—and welcome to make a great life for yourself.”
