“This is a one-stop shop for meeting the incredible group of startups that were showcased in the SXSW Accelerator Live Pitch event,” said Chris Valentine, event producer. “These startups are the future of technology, and they’re excited to talk with you and answer your questions while demoing their products and services.”

  • 403 companies = 70% funding
  • 16% were acquired
