Did you follow the Startup bus? Six buses arrived in Austin, Texas at SXSW (South by Southwest) and popped into Vast.com as the first of many stops.

I had fun On Tuesday morning hanging out with them at 7:00 am as the Silicon Bus bid departed.

Everyone gets mentally ready for the long journey ahead in their own way!

Fueled by Rockstars, redbulls and lots of snacks I know they are going to rip out some amazing products!!

Bauer’s limos was responsible for chartering these groups all the way to SXSW. Luckily they have wi-fi onboard!

Doing headshots for some of the team, gave me a qucik opportunity to get a glimpse into their personalities and know the bus ride was going to be a wild one! Here is a collection of thsoe headshots!
