The Last Word: Ross Perot Jr. on the Strength of the North Texas Economy

“DFW generated more jobs last year than 46 states.”

Ross Perot Jr.
Founder and Chairman
Hillwood
.…speaking on the strength of the North Texas economy at the recent Circle T Ranch VIP kickoff event for the 2024 Venture Dallas Summit.

Inside the sprawling, cowboy-chic Texas Barn at the Perot family’s Circle T Ranch in Westlake late last month, an elite group of investors, founders, and key stakeholders gathered for an exclusive VIP event kicking off the 2024 Venture Dallas business summit. Ross Perot Jr. sat at center stage in a fireside chat with Venture Dallas Co-Founder and Board Chair Aaron Pierce and Anurag Jain, founder and managing partner at early-stage VC firm Perot Jain. 

As today’s Last Word shows, North Texas’ powerhouse economy was one of Perot’s key talking points. For more on what the three discussed—from investing in the community to AI, global trends, the then-looming 2024 U.S. election, and more—read our story.
