Rummble Wins Place on UK Digital Mission to SXSW 2009

All of us at Rummble are extremely excited that Rummble has won a place on the Digital Mission to SXSW 2009, run by Chinwag and UKTI and backed by the great guys at Bootlaw and Sun Startup Essentials (if you dont know these guys, worth checking them both out if you’re running a UK startup!)

Rummble kicked off 2008 by attending Web Mission 2008 to San Francisco which was a fantastic trip (incidentally, WebMission 09 submission for Enterprise Web 2.0 and mobile, are now open). Web Mission 08 provided tangible business benefits to Rummble and the other startups who went. Since then there has been a Digital Mission to New York for WebExpo, which our good friends UnLtdWorld and Veedow amongst others, attended.

Andrew went to SXSW in 2008 independently and was impressed with the number of attendees and level of engagement at the event; there are a huge number of panels and presentations at the event covering all manner of internet, mobile and digital.

One of the main benefits of Web Mission was spending so much time with a peer group amd sharing the down and dirty details, challenges and solutions when running an internet startup – we expect the Digital Mission to SXSW to be no different!

Many thanks to the panel for supporting Rummble, congratulations to our peers, and we’ll make sure we make a big splash in Austin, Texas in 2009 not only for Rummble but for the UK Tech Startup scene in general!
