WHAT IS STARTUPBUS?
StartupBus produces the most intense startup competition in the world, where top talent compete as 'buspreneurs' to build the next generation of technology companies over the course of a 3-day roadtrip.
This is StartupBus' 5th year embarking on their fast-paced highway hackathon, where 5 buses from different regions of the continent compete for startup glory.
Basically, you have 3 days and 700 miles to build something epic.
WHEN?
StartupBus Florida leaves from Tampa on June 4th, and ends in Nashville, TN on June 8th.
WHO IS STARTUPBUS FOR?
We've coined the following terms for participants who are looking to push themselves to 70mph:
Hackers (Developers)
Hipsters (Designers)
Hustlers (Entrepreneurs, Biz Dev, Marketing)
Whether you're a hacker, developer or hustler, StartupBus is for anyone who's looking to network with top tech talent in North America, while building an awesome product along the way.
Much like the Startup Weekend model, you enter the bus not knowing most of your fellow buspreneurs. Ideas are then pitched/selected, ice is broken, and before you know it, you're building something epic, and making lifelong friends along the way.
WHERE DOES THE BUS GO?
After 3 days of continuous building, StartupBus ends at Nashville's 36 | 86 Conference, where teams will pitch/demo their product to a panel of notable tech founders and VCs. (There is no bus ride back to Florida, however)
