StartupBus Regions Announced! Florida
Buspreneurs feverishly hacking away
Think you have what it takes to start a business over your spring break? How about on bus?
30 strangers have 3 days to conceive, build & launch a startup and compete for venture capital funding. On a bus going 60MPH.
Florida, Ohio, L.A., Silicon Valley, NYC (and five more to be announced) will be going head-to-head, competing for glory against the best doers in tech. Florida was among the first five regions selected based on the caliber of applicants, the buzz generated and sponsorship gathered. We’re looking for talented, entrepreneurial minded individuals to lead our bus to victory this year.
Hackathon + Competition + Roadtrip = StartupBus
StartupBus is an invitation-only community of hackers, hustlers and hipsters passionate about startups who compete in an annual hackathon-style competition on buses traveling across America at 60 mph towards Austin in time for SXSW, where teams will pitch to top-tier angels and VCs. The competition is intense, the constraints are challenging and the bonds forged are testament to the shared experience of Buspreneurs.
Are you a “Buspreneur”? If you are one of those driven, maniacal world-changers, you’re probably what we’re looking for.
Hackers – You’re more than a coder: you’re a versatile hacker, you’re bad-ass and you do what it takes to get the job done.
Hipsters – UX, UI, design. Shoot us a link to your portfolio. (Not a requirement, but if you are a front-end coder, please say so in your application.)
Hustlers - Your business acumen is second to none, you pitch in your sleep, you created the bubble. Innately undefinable, hustlers must prove they have the Midas touch.
Buses depart March 6, participate in semi-finals in San Antonio, arrive in Austin on March 9. The Grand Finale will at SXSW’s Startup Village on March 11.
