Since Harvey hit Houston, Gabriella Rowe has noted a shift in the city’s burgeoning startup community.

Companies who were focused on coding and designing realized that there was more potential for their technology – to directly improve people’s lives, said Rowe, CEO of tech incubator Station Houston.

"It galvanized the startup community around what impact really means, and several startups adopted the idea of impact being a really important part of who they are," said Rowe.
