What happens when you put a bunch of developers, designers and entrepreneurs that have never met on a bus - and tell them they have to launch a product by the time they arrive in Nashville? Find out here - http://www.startupbus.com
Do you think you have what it takes to ride the StartupBus? You’ve come to the right place. This is the first step, but not the last: your decision to participate in t
he most grueling hackathon-esque competition on the planet. Each year, we receive far more applicants than we could possibly accept. Additionally, we look for a certain type of person, as we’re not about just producing an event with wicked people as an end goal (though we’ve got to admit, that’s something we do well). Accordingly, you will have to prove that you’re among the best of the best in order to receive a boarding pass. So what are we looking for? StartupBus exists to create a community of the best hackers, hipsters, and hustlers. A community that is a life-long asset you can tap into, with our annual competition acting as our intake into this community. The competition itself forges these “buspreneurs” together through shared experience and is a vehicle (*ahem*) that fosters talent that have the capacity to change the status quo. StartupBus is intense. StartupBus is challenging. StartupBus is an experience unto itself. If you are one of those driven, maniacal world-changers, you’re probably what we’re looking for. If you’re the type that think movie-marathons are a worthy way to spend a weekend, here’s the door. Hustlers:
No means yes and yes means MORE. Your business acumen is second to none, you pitch in your sleep and can sell bottled air. Silver-tongued fox that you are, you drive too fast just for the opportunity to talk your way out of a speeding fine. You have been known to organize the takeover of small nation states. You created the bubble. Innately undefinable, hustlers must prove they have the Midas touch. Hackers:
You took the red pill. The StartupBus is an environment of constraints, the least of which is time, pressure and lacklustre wifi. Your Github profile, side projects, websites will all help you to prove you are legion, as will a list of your preferred coding languages and proficiency level. They won’t be enough to clinch it though. Demonstrate you’re more than a coder: you’re a versatile hacker, you’re bad-ass and you do what it takes to get the job done. Hipsters:
Form and function. Beauty. Purpose. Poise. Need we say more? Shoot us a link to your portfolio. (If you’re a front-end coder, say so. n.b. This is not a requirement)

To surmise, Prove that you’re awesome. Good luck!
