People We Support at SXSW pt. 2

Following up on our first post bragging on people we love that are doing interesting things during SXSW…

The Noun Project - Iconothon
Making highly communicative, visually refined symbols free for the world to use AND teaching communities about the importance and process of visual communication? THAT”S a project with vision.

Mobile Roadie - Silicon Beach Sunday Funday
“MoRo” was started to make “mobile” accessible to independent musicians and thusly, making music more accessible to the masses. If you build something simple enough for bands to build their own mobile app, you win. Kudos MoRo.

The Skool -  Silicon Beach Sunday Funday
Jose Caballer offices down the street from us in Culver City. He literally forces us to sponsor his content. The Skool serves up really cool tutorials, podcasts and everything else you expect from an education hustler like Jose.

Great Moments in Parenting - SXSWi Interactive Awards Finalist
As a parent, you experience a lot of “brick wall moments”, coupled with amazing moments that eviscerate aforementioned walls. This site lets you share those moments and more importantly, reminds you that you’re human along with all the other parents out there.

People We Support at SXSW

We’ve built some great relationships with clients and like minded creative builders over beers, coffee and passionate chit chat. SXSW embodies a lot of what we do at (mt), which by no coincidence, is why we’ve been coming here for 8+ years. The following is a list of companies at SXSW trying to disrupt the world just enough to make a difference… they’re also hosted by us and by default, have our support ;)

Brian Solis - “What’s the Future of Business” 
Brian Solis has a penchant for dapper suits and luxuriant social profile pictures. He’s also an analyst at the Altimeter Group, voracious blogger, business futurist and author. He’s here interviewing Shaquile Oneal (of course!) and promoting his latest book, “What’s The Future Of Business?”.

Tim Ferriss - SXSW Presenter
There are doers, builders and thinkers and then there’s Tim Ferriss. Mr. Ferriss can do anything you can do, in Four Hours.

Protein - Hackney House Austin
We recently went to go see our friends from Protein in London. Smack me in my face if they didn’t have a boutique coffee bar cooler than Intelligentsia nestled in an art gallery as the lobby to their creative office. If you’re interested in being “cool”, do what these guys do.
