To attend you will need a SXSW badge. The 5 chosen presenters will get a Interactive badge!
Come and see who will be the winner this year to present at SXSW: the top five nominated Austin startups are pitching and competing for investors, talent, and media recognition.

Founded in 2010, the Co-founders Meetup Austin is with 2,800 members the largest meetup group about tech entrepreneurship here in central Texas. The meetup is produced by The Tech^Map, a community-oriented project bringing together people who work within the technology startup universe.
The Co-founders Austin meetup meets at Capital Factory where six startups pitch each month to a group of 150 entrepreneurs, talent, and investors. From our pitch event we have had many success in connecting with others in the community. One of our many success stories is Joseph Kopser with Ridescout
In addition to this event, The Tech Map also hosts a social mixer and invites tech media. This allows tech entrepreneurs another opportunity to connect as well as to tell their story to local tech media.
