South by Southwest (SXSW) started out as a local music festival and has evolved into a must-attend event for startups, investors, and professionals from around the globe. It takes place annually in Austin, Texas, covering a wide range of topics that include technology, music, and film.
However, in many cases, “where it’s at” are the multiple “media houses” and satellite events, including Grit Daily House. Grit Daily House is one of the eight media houses taking place during SXSW, and it is one of the places where you will find the top VCs, media, and big names.
