## Resource

In this episode of Austin Tech Connect , Thom Singer sits down with Mat Kordell, Co-Founder and COO of CyberStreams, for a conversation that hits at the heart of entrepreneurship, community, and opportunity. Mat shares how his journey from working the help desk to running a multi-location MSP wasn't fueled by luck or algorithms... it was powered by human connections. From networking events to industry meetups, Mat's biggest business moves came from showing up. He didn't meet his co-founder, business partner, or acquisition targets through cold emails... he met them in person. Now based in Austin, Mat talks about the value of being part of a thriving tech community, what makes Austin special, and why entrepreneurs need to get out of their silos and into the room where things happen. Whether you're building your first company or thinking about your next move, this episode will inspire you to invest in real relationships and think long-term about your role in shaping the future of your city.
