How will you be seen and heard amid 68,000 SXSW Interactive attendees at SXSW 2014? How will journalists find you? How do you, your company, your minimum viable product, gain their attention? And how do you ensure you meet the right journalists?
Enter Larry Chiang: I am your moist efficient solution for gaining visibility and meeting qualified and selected journalists, bloggers and analysts.
Yes I meant moist! Jk
#LarryChiang delivers to you the ability to get return on your SXSW dollar before SXSW starts (literally. OMG, not only did I refer to myself in the third person, I also hashtagged it ;-). You bring the startups to showcase with hands-on demos inside an invitation-only press event.
Make sure that if youre taking a startup bus to SXSW, that you make sure you get to Austin Texas BEFORE SXSW. PAST YEARS SOME BUSSES GET THERE WAYYYYYY LATE AND GET DETOURED. “Pound Larry Chiang Sonar” identifies, invites and qualifies key journalists, bloggers and analysts, who work their way around the room, from company to company. If they are not there, we will email them or text them.
Top bloggers, press and top industry analysts (like Jeremiah Owyang– invited) welcome this event because of my reputation for presenting interesting startups, combined with a reception with great food, clean tap water and my Gua Gua Guacamole recipe that the Four Seasons in Austin uses. I am not saying it is at the Four Seasons, I am saying the Four Seasons executes my Gua Gua Guacamole recipe.
Yes. The Official #LarryChiangSonar #AfterParty takes place at 98 San Jacinto. Yes, they use my Guacamole recipe. Yes, you should google Gua Gua Guacamole to prep for this event.
Best of all for attendees…
…it all takes place in just three hours over two special evenings. 11:00pm March 6 – 2AM MARCH 7, 2014. (11pm is one hour before midnight and 2AM is two hours after it. Yes, I studied engineering at a public school.) and March 8, 2014.

Because I have a fund, this is free. This is free because you stalk my twitter feed and are a first responder. First to act and first-to-respond, gets rewarded. Later, attendees will pay 1995.oo/startup. Do I keep that cash?! Nope, I will divvy it up and fly in cool stuff. Like a Ryan Shea or Jacob Cole.
I’d like to thank Remmy Oxley. You should thank him too and tweet at him @remmyOxley. He loves it when you include the hashtag #LarryChiangSonar– jk, he doesn’t. He is kind of a d*ck.
Larry Chiang Sonar @ SXSW is my annual blockbuster. Larry Chiang events throughout the year make the connections between consumer, VCs, convergence, startups and clueless founder teams* with the press and analysts and VCs. No VCs are allowed to RSVP at this moment. Tweet at Remmy Oxley to syndicate your invite (Seriously, I comped him like 12 🙂
*When I say clueless, I mean teams that haven’t read one of my 1,900 blog posts on entrepreneurship.
*When I say clueless, I mean those that do not test at the 90th percentile for my AP test on entrepreneurship
*When I say clueless, I mean those that did not study my HBS thesis
