The “buspreneurs” have arrived in Austin! The StartupBus, which began a four-day journey from San Francisco/Silicon Valley on Tuesday morning, completed the final leg of the voyage yesterday. The teams of entrepreneurs hoping to debut new products at South by Southwest Interactive arrived by way of San Antonio, where they received an enthusiastic welcome at Rackspace. “We live in a magic moment of innovation and entrepreneurship right now,” remarked Rackspace CEO Lanham Napieras the StartupBus teams took another break from the road.
Take a look at the video to see how apps like Expensieve have become reality. And as the entrepreneurs pull into rainy Austin, they share what they gained from this whirlwind experience and where they hope to go from here.
The entire TechCrunchTV team has landed in Austin as well, so stay tuned for more video coverage of SXSW plus updates on the StartupBus finals. If you missed the beginning of the road trip, make sure to take a look back at the first three days of the StartupBus journey:
- Day One: San Francisco to Indio, California
- Day Two: Indio, California to Las Cruces, New Mexico
- Day Three: Las Cruces, New Mexico to San Antonio, Texas
