Photo Slideshow: Startup Florida, Tampa
Tampa Bay entrepreneurs aboard Startup Florida's bus compete against other teams from throughout the nation at the SXSW (South by Southwest) Festival in Texas for the coolest new ideas hatched during 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.
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.
