Take your venture to SxSW without getting on a plane

Ok…things are getting a bit frazzled here, as final arrangements are made by the delegation on its way to SxSW…but a whole bunch of excitement is in the air.

As a final “push” to push S Africa on the unsuspecting attendees, I would like to give each SAfrican delegate 30 badges of South African startup logos (one badge=one logo; one delegate=30 badges). They can do with them as they wish…put it on their computer bags, tshirts, give away. Whatever.

If you have a startup, and a logo, and want to send it SxSW…send it to me as a file. We’ll make it happen.

(Well, I hope we’ll make it happen. Someone has to foot the R3,000 bill. If anyone wants to sponsor this, and get a *big* badge of *their* start up at SxSW…give me a call!)

SAfrica goes to SxSW – but who’s going?

There are about 3 weeks left before a contingency of South Africans hits one of the biggest and best geek conferences in the US: SxSW (South by South West). I am hoping that the group will use this blog to post their experiences, views, opinions etc from SxSW. In the meantime, I thought I’d post a list of who exactly is going. So here it is, in no particular order:
