Hi, I’m Cherie Werner, Founder, CEO, and CEO—Chief Empowerment Officer—of FIESTA, Austin’s fastest-growing founder community since 2021. I’ve called Austin home for almost 35 years, and as a native Texan, I’ve always been passionate about bringing folks together while making meaningful connections to elevate others. This passion for creating supportive networks inspired me to start FIESTA after COVID, a community focused on helping early-stage founders, entrepreneurs, and professionals navigate Austin’s vibrant startup ecosystem.
What sets FIESTA apart is our focus on fostering connections, providing resources, and creating a supportive environment where founders can thrive. I’m deeply committed to helping early-stage founders be seen and find their footing in Austin’s tech landscape. Whether through our monthly events, women’s initiatives, or our community calendar, we strive to connect people and provide the tools they need to succeed.
At my core, I am driven by a desire to uplift others. As a certified life coach, I believe in fostering growth, collaboration, and success in everything I do. My mission with FIESTA is to create a space where founders are seen, heard, and supported on their journey, knowing that by helping others, we can create lasting change in our community.
