15 Startups Earn a Spot on the DOer Express to the International Startup Festival

We were overwhelmed with the incredible submissions for this unique bus ride to Startup Festival 2012. With so many great pitches, it was difficult to narrow down the choices. We chose the winners based on their entrepreneurial passion and readiness to take full advantage of the opportunities that lie ahead of them. We are very excited to announce the 15 startups joining us on the DOer Express.

The fun begins with a kick-off event featuring a talk from Mackey Craven of Bessemer Venture Partners. On the bus, Sumit Shukla of Microsoft Bizspark and Craig Kitterman of Windows Azure will provide mentorship alongside Twilio and Sendgrid. We’ll also be joined by Sean Ludwig of VentureBeat who will be on board to capture the whole experience.
