ROBINSON FREDERICK

One of the most fun ways to get a peek into another person’s life is to experience their city like a local would -- with a homebase in a their space. LifeSwap takes the fun of living how a stranger does one step further. We’ve teamed up with AirBnB to give you a taste of what it’s like to step into someone else’s shoes. We can safely say that this is the best giveaway of any SXSW party around.

ABOUT THE FILM

GENERATION STARTUP captures the struggles and triumphs of six recent college graduates who put everything on the line to build startups in Detroit. Shot over 17 months, it's an honest, in-the-trenches look at what it takes to launch a startup. Directed by Academy Award winner Cynthia Wade and award-winning filmmaker Cheryl Miller Houser, the film celebrates risk-taking, urban revitalization, and diversity while delivering a vital call-to-action - with entrepreneurship at a record low, the country's economic future is at stake.

SPECIAL GUEST: Avery Hairston '14, Director of Marketing-Banza, will also be present for Q&A immediately following the film. Banza is one of the startups featured in the film.

ABOUT

ABOUT THE GAME

A board game for people who are interested in being startup superheroes & changing the world. Players take on the role of startup founders to create "the next big thing", bootstrapping using their initial cash savings and superpower skills to create a MVP, gain initial traction, and then go on to raise multiple rounds of capital from investors, increasing the value of their company, but while also diluting their founder's ownership.

During the game players will experience many of the ups and downs of the entrepreneurial journey including: increasing revenues while balancing against expenses to grow the company, various significant events (good and bad), and creating an impact that changes the world. There are also multiple paths such as an accelerator path, pivot paths, and in the end (if you haven't gone bankrupt) players decide to either take the acquisition path or IPO path. Along the way players also collect impact points, as it's not just about the money, from sustainability, ethics & diversity, social impact, and health & wellness. The winner is the player who exits ("cashes out") with the most money by creating the company with the largest valuation while still maintaining the most founder's ownership and generating the most positive impact on the world.

The head honchos will kick the night off with a toast. They’ll probably tell the hilarious story about how they thought up LifeSwap. And hopefully they’ll remember to tell you that everyone who attends the party is gets $100 in Airway Bed credit.

LifeSwap takes the fun of living how a stranger does one step further. We’ve teamed up withthe CTO of Airway Bed to give you a taste of what it’s like to step into someone else’s shoes.

QUINN THE IRISHMAN

Camila’s brother was the world’s worst DJ. His taste in music is awful. He once played the hokey pokey in the middle of a huge techno dance party. He thought it’d be funny. The only part he was good at was hyping up the crowd. So that’s what he does now.

EVENT MC

CIARAN, LLC.

DJ ZENY

He’s a master at curating tunes that suit the mood. And the mood of this party will be a Good Mood. A Fun Mood. A Dancey Mood. Zeny’s going to kill it.

STILES SWITCH

Damn good Texas BBQ. Taste it once, and you’ll wish you could taste it every day forever and ever. We can vouch for that.
