The Lean Startup SXSW 2013
By Eric on Mar 06, 2013 02:00 pm
We're back! Once again, along with my partners at 500 Startups, we are proud to present the most
at SXSW:
There was a running joke last year that "the Lean Startup track was the only place at SXSW you couldn't get out of the building." That's because the room we were in was so packed, the only way to stay for the next session was to refuse to give up your seat. Luckily, in a room full of entrepreneurs, plenty of new businesses popped up to bring people food and water.
(If you want to see what all the fuss was about, you can watch
courtesy of my friends at
.)
Because of your tremendous enthusiasm (and possibly a few words from the fire marshall), SXSW has granted us a much bigger space this year to put on what may be the best lineup we've ever had. I've embedded the flyer for the event below, but the best way to see what we're doing is on the
- which we try to keep up-to-date with the inevitable flurry of last-minute changes. (This year, we're battling both the flu and the Congressional sequester.)
If you're planning to be in Austin, please come say hello. See you there!
