Known as an “Austinpreneur,” Baer championed startup growth with his mantra: “Plant lots of seeds. Water everyone’s. Repeat.” His impact was felt across the city — from mentoring students at UT to earning a key to the city in 2023 — and his loss has left a profound void in the local innovation ecosystem. The crash, which also claimed the lives of three young survivors whose relation to Baer remains unclear, is under investigation after reports of mechanical failure. Baer is survived by his wife and three children, and his legacy of empowering entrepreneurs and building community through tech will endure.
