SXSWi Accelerator Deadline Approaching + Free Application for 5 Lucky Startups….
I am honored to be part of the incredible Advisory Board for the second annual SXSWi Accelerator. I’m also happy to report that the 2010 event is shaping up most excellently. The application deadline however, is 12/4 and quickly approaching.
SXSWi is as zeitgest-y as it gets — the event literally helps define the “spirt of the age and our society” etymologically speaking. Wheras so many other conferences and events are merely transactional, for one week in Austin the best and brightest convene to celebrate everything that is great about the Web — the vibe is one part geek summer camp, and one part New Year’s Eve.
The opportunity to present and/or launch new technologies at SXSWi is special — it is an audience of peers, of alpha geeks, superusers to-be, of risk-tolerant enthusiasts, trend-setters, cognoscenti and digerati.
The application for the Accelerator runs $150 — and I’ll happily pay the fee for 5 startups — just send me a note explaining why you deserve the money.
And regardless of the entry fee, please consider applying. It’s going to be an outstanding event.
