What happens when you put 25 entrepreneurs on a bus from San Francisco to Austin? Well duh - six new startups of course! Since TechCrunch announced to the world about my crazy experiment, I frantically organised what has one of the more memorable experiences in my life. It was hard work to get sponsors, get people, get the bus - and even down to the wire, have WIFI. But I pulled it off, and now I'm ready to share to the world what happened.
I'm going to write a blog series that will answer the following questions:
* What worked?
* What didn't work?
* What were all the ideas?
* What ideas got rejected?
* Who was on all the teams and what were there roles?
* Did people flake out before/during/after (and if so how did that get addressed)?
* What are the state of the projects now?
* Are we planning to do something like this again?
* Did anything crazy happen during the trip?
Below you'll find links to posts I will write on the event (as I write them). Above the links, you will find a video of me explaining to the "buspreneurs" why I think this experiment is valuable, regardless of the outcome.
