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 <\/a>to the world about my crazy experiment<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

I’m going to write a blog series that will answer the following questions:
\n* What worked?
\n* What didn’t work?
\n* What were all the ideas?
\n* What ideas got rejected?
\n* Who was on all the teams and what were there roles?
\n* Did people flake out before\/during\/after (and if so how did that get addressed)?
\n* What are the state of the projects now?
\n* Are we planning to do something like this again?
\n* Did anything crazy happen during the trip?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
