Welcome to Austin, Oracle!
Welcome Oracle to Austin!
From everyone at NEST Financial, we want to extend a warm welcome to Oracle as you settle into Austin!
Relocating can be challenging, but you'll quickly find there is so much to love about this vibrant city.
Yes, Austin is known for its BBQ, lakes, Hill Country trails, and of course, the Texas heat, but it offers so much more than that.
Community is Everything
If there's one word that defines Austin, it's community.
In my 18 years living here (Dan Dillard), I've found that people are genuinely eager to help and collaborate. Whether you're starting a business or looking to network, a simple call or email often leads to a coffee meeting and meaningful connection. Austin thrives on this spirit of mutual support and southern hospitality.
Local Eats You’ll Love
Beyond community, one of Austin’s biggest treasures is its food scene. I'm passionate about many things, but food tops my list. Once you go local, you’ll never look back.
Try some of our famous food truck parks, scattered across the city—from South Congress to Rainey Street to Barton Springs Road.
Of course, Franklin Barbecue is a must-visit, but don't miss gems like Jack Allen's Kitchen (amazing happy hour), El Meson, or Perla's on South Congress (incredible seafood).
Pro tip from: “My friends and I keep a running Google list of happy hour spots.”
Ping me when you arrive, and I’ll be glad to add you!
Outdoors & Hill Country Vibes
Summers in Texas Hill Country are all about staying cool—and water is the best way to do it:
Wake surfing at Lake Travis or Lake Austin
Paddleboarding on Lady Bird Lake
Swimming at Barton Springs, one of the most iconic local hangouts
Music, Culture & Local Events
Austin is the Live Music Capital of the World, and it shows. From big events to impromptu shows—even in convenience stores—you’ll find music everywhere.
Don’t miss Blues on the Green at Zilker Park
Check out performances at The Oasis, or catch rising stars through Black Fret
Our local musicians are what make this city so unique, so be sure to support them!
We're truly excited that Oracle has chosen Austin as its new home. If anyone from your team needs guidance or would just like to meet a local, I’d be more than happy to assist—or simply grab a coffee or cold drink together.
As for business, if you’re in search of a reliable, local financial planning firm, our team at NEST Financial is here to help however we can.
With gratitude,
Dan Dillard
