Grit Daily House is one of the “media houses” during SxSW and the only independent media house, heavy on on-stage programming and champion of “underdogs” and innovators. 

 Four blocks from The Convention Center, it skews “VIP” with a private chef, Adrian Davila, famed Austin bartender Ozzy Barajas. Content. On-stage programming is over half women and over half of the speakers are local entrepreneurs or media from Austin, Texas. 

“Given Grit Daily’s integrations with Celsius, Linqto, SafeMoon, Lifekey, Thesis*, and Mondavi’s NFT launch, Hacker House Austin is a natural ally. Hacker House’s community is welcome to Grit Daily House, a few blocks north where we’ll have on-stage content and a medley of creative drinks from Ozzy the bartender and The People’s Chef Adrian Davila grilling out,” says Jordan French, Executive Editor at Grit Daily.
