Photo Slideshow: Startup Florida, Tampa

Startup Florida arrives at Rackspace in San Antonio TX today (March 8) after a three-day bus ride from Tampa. The bus is filled with teams of techies intent on creating and developing the next big thing, whatever that may be.

Greg Ross-Munro of Tampa, the founder of Teburu and a third generation developer, is the Startup Florida bus conductor. Last year's Florida teams created MyNewman, a finalist in the SXSW Festival competition that awaits them again this year in Texas.

Below is a slideshow of the bus's March 6 departure from Tampa, including a send-off by Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn.

A post bus bash is planned for March 23 from 6-9 p.m. at a place TBD.
