Drawing on their deep network of connections in the information and cyber security space, Dustin and Christina brought a new conference to Austin, Texas. Currently in its tenth year,
InfoSec Southwest has been sponsored by household names including Amazon, Cisco, and Trend Micro. The Trammell Ventures events production portfolio expanded in 2016 to include the BodyHacking Con, which brings together doctors, artists, scientists, and experimenters in the domain of human augmentation and modification technologies. Trammell Ventures events production portfolio expanded yet again in 2017 to include Rogue Signal, an events production and gamification company incubated by Trammell Ventures which creates bespoke and immersive gaming experiences for conferences and other events.
Christopher S. Calicott concentrates on the venture capital side of the enterprise as Managing Director of the company’s venture investment firm, Trammell Venture Partners . TVP’s first fund, closed in 2019, focused on information and cyber security, blockchain technology, and machine intelligence venture investments. TVP’s second fund, closed in 2022, is the first venture capital fund focused exclusively on investing in Bitcoin infrastructure and Bitcoin-native companies.
Product development and incubation are the core of Trammell Ventures engineering labs. Primarily led by Dustin, he brings his ideas to life resulting in products and companies like Blockhenge's Cryptomnio cryptoasset trading platform, the Achieve Mint gamification badging platform, and Rogue Signal’s Scramble! Live-action immersive gaming platform.
