AI Startup Rodeo is where AI & Bitcoin full-stack developers, builders, indie hackers and founders, converge in Austin during SXSW 2026 to push real products forward.
Across a classroom style setting, you’ll get high-signal demos, hands-on workshops, and developer labs + demo tables where teams show the tools, platforms, and workflows they’re actively shipping.
