The Top 5 Startup Guide to SXSW
South-by-Southwest (SXSW), Austin’s annual tech and arts mecca, starts this weekend. SXSW serves as a crossroads, a hub for what’s new and what’s next in music, movies, art and tech. With hundreds of thousands of pilgrims flooding the city to view thousands of shows and installations, the festival can feel like a maze without the proper map. Here’s our guide to five phenomenal stops for startups at SXSW 2018.
Also, fellow Houstonians should keep an eye out for the Houston Exponential team throughout the weekend and be sure to use #HOUSxSW and #TEAMHOUSTON to help showcase our great city!
