I'm on this panel and having helped bootstrap our startup, JumpBox.com, over the past year starting with zero up to revenue & 7 employees, I can say the process is definitely a minefield with plenty of opportunities to blow it. Ryan Carson (founder of Dropsend) is also on the panel and he's full of great advice having built Dropsend from scratch: http://media.libsyn.com/media/carsonsystems/Ryan_Carson.mp3

I'm bringing my top 10 clients & their spouses to SXSW (on my dime) I'm writing it all off as a business expense and we'd love to hear this panel!

@Adam - Thats baller. Pressure is on now, gotta make sure they leave the the panel armed with the knowledge and skill to implode thier companies. If only 1 person bankrupts thier startup after hearing our panel, it will be a success. It's only takes one to make a change.

I find this a good way to start building a business - you have to have humor to deal with the ups and downs.
