March 2010: the SXSW conference is on, one of the biggest and most valuable ones anyone in tech can attend.
The idea: A bus travels from San Francisco to Austin (where the conference is) to take you there...but with a twist. You get on the bus with strangers, and 48 hours later - you have to conceive, build and launch a web startup business by the time you dock in Austin. Logistically, I'm still trying to get my head around it. But discussions I've been having means we can get it linked officially to the SXSW conference, get media exposure, and you'll be launching to a party in Austin where people like Heather Graham (the movie star), Naval Ravikant (the angel investor, venturehacks author) and the Twitter co-founders (Tweet tweet) are attending. Why fly to Austin, when you can attend a startup camp on a bus? I need at least 12 people willing to do it - which will get us one of those rockstar buses with beds and leather seats and hopefully wifi. Not sure about the cost, but let's say $300 for now (it'd cost $100-200 to fly anyway) - but this can be offset with sponsors. Who's interested?
