About @StartupBusSF:

What do you get when you put 30 strangers on a bus and give them 72 hours to conceive, build & launch a startup? The ride of a lifetime. 

On May 15th, the best and the brightest will come together to compete in the most epic competition the Americas has ever seen – combing the magic of a hackathon and a road trip to create the ultimate adventure on wheels.

For the seventh year in a row, @StartupBusSF will be road tripping across the country, going head to head with buses from 5 cities to see who can create the most innovative business on their way to Boulder, where they'll pitch on stage at Techstars' Boulder Startup Week.

Come join us as we send them off to battle in their quest for StartupBus glory!
