And it's not too late to showcase your music tech startup, product or new service at **[SXSW](%20https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2013/10/its-not-tool-late-to-enter-your-music-tech-startup-in-sxsw-accelerator-2014.html)**

- Founders of the applying startup must retain some portion of ownership in the company to be eligible to participate.
- Must not have raised over five million in funds from combined funding sources.
- Product or service must fall within one of the SXSW Accelerator pitch event categories.

While that there is not a specific music tech category this year, there are several categories that fit most music related startups well. And as a member of the advisory board, I know that the very much want music tech startups to be part of the event.

The deadline to register is **Friday, November 8**, so visit [http://sxsw.com/interactive/accelerator/entry-info](http://sxsw.com/interactive/accelerator/entry-info?ref=hypebot.com) today. I've been on the SXSW Accelerator advisory board for several years, so be sure to mention that I – **Bruce Houghton / Hypebot** – suggested you apply.
