Built in San Antonio. Operated by the partners who already run the ecosystem.
Digital Canvas isn't a new institution. It's a program layer connecting two pipelines that already exist — DevSA's tech community and an accredited investor network — with industry underwriters in between. The infrastructure is in place. We're the connecting tissue.
Founded & Operated By
Marcos Resendez & Jesse Hernandez. Two San Antonio operators bringing 434 Media and DEVSA into a single builder program.

Connect on LinkedInThe Partners
Three organizations. One coordinated program. Each partner brings something the other two can't.
DevSA
Community · Venue · Audience
A 501(c)(3) bridging San Antonio's tech community — 20+ affiliated groups, monthly programming, and a downtown coworking space. DevSA hosts the workshop weekends and opens its coworking to the cohort for the six-week bridge. Their existing message — "find your people, build your future" — wraps every Digital Canvas program.
Capital Partner Network
Capital · Pitch Coaching · Investor Network
An accredited investor network is our third pillar — convening the investor audience for demo day, contributing pitch coaching to cohort builders, and continuing post-demo conversations. The capital partner for cohort 1 is in active conversation; announcement coming.
434 Media
Program Operator · Underwriter Sales · Media
Recruits and closes cohort underwriters. Coordinates operations across partners. Produces the media around every cohort — builder profiles, demo day footage, recap content. Owns the Digital Canvas brand and entity.
