South by Southwest (SXSW) is a place where dreams are born. Where there are dreamers, there are entrepreneurs. Over 33,200 converged on downtown Austin for the Film, Interactive, and Music events in 2010. 163 Busepreneurs joined the fray as a part of the 2011 Startup Bus tournament. One of them was DC resident, Chris Jeane.
A native of East Texas, Chris moved to DC in June with his wife, a student at Georgetown Law. By day he works at a defense contractor as a software developer specializing in analytics. Not long after arriving in DC he joined the community at NYHacker.org to fuel his coding creativity. Fellow NY Hacker member, John Gottfried encouraged him to apply to be on the bus, but it was still a last minute decision, “I had talked to our [buss’s] conductor the week before we left, but I didn’t actually decide to go till about 3 days before.”
