StartupBus is a 72 hour once-in-a-lifetime roadtrip / hackathon on wheels. Your mission is to conceive, build and launch a new startup in 72 hours with a team of strangers while crossing the continent on a bus driving 80 km/h.

After those 72 hours you will have to demo your product in the semi-finals at the amazing Corda INCubator in Hasselt (Belgium) and in the finals at the invite-only Pirate Summit in Cologne (Germany).

We have buses departing from UK, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and France.
