Two Straws Co. at RGV Startup Week: Brewing Up Community and Innovation

Two Straws Co 2025 RGV Startup Week Coffee Sponsor

This year, Two Straws Co. was proud to be a sponsor of RGV Startup Week, a week-long celebration of entrepreneurship, innovation, and collaboration in the Rio Grande Valley. From early-morning setups to late-afternoon lattes, we had a blast fueling the minds and missions of local entrepreneurs.

RGV Startup Week is a regional initiative that brings together startups, dreamers, and doers through workshops, panels, networking events, and pitch competitions. It's a one-of-a-kind experience in the RGV that empowers and uplifts the local business community while inspiring the next wave of founders. It celebrates ideas, resilience, and hustle—values that we at Two Straws Co. connect with on a deep level.

As coffee met creativity, we had the privilege of partnering with amazing organizations like the eBridge Center for Business & Commercialization, UTRGV Entrepreneurship and Commercialization Center, and the Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation. These powerhouse partners helped curate a week full of insight, inspiration, and innovation.

Our cart wasn’t just serving coffee—it was serving connection. Entrepreneurs from across the Valley gathered around for fresh brews, networking chats, and the occasional PSL-fueled brainstorm. The workshops touched on everything from funding to branding and empowered dozens of emerging businesses to take the next step in their journey.

One of our favorite moments? Hearing pitch ideas while hand-pulling shots of espresso. There’s nothing like mixing ambition with aroma. Plus, attendees got to try some of our exclusive flavors crafted just for the event—because when you’re dreaming big, your drink should match the energy.

We’re beyond grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a vibrant celebration. Huge thanks to our partners for trusting us to energize the crowd. And guess what? We’ll be back next year—bigger, better, and with even bolder brews.
