The Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs team will be in Austin for SXSW 2019 from March 8-11, and we want to meet with you! We’ll be set up inside the Amplify Philly House (Pour Choices – 401 E. 6th Street), where you can experience a ton of great programming and lots of Philly flavor.
If you’re a startup working in connectivity, media, or entertainment, you should definitely come by to learn about the Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs Accelerator, powered by Techstars (applications are open for the next month!) and our other programs designed to elevate your startup.
We’ll be on the lookout for founders who think they could partner with Comcast NBCUniversal in some way, and will be available to help make the right connections for the right companies. In addition to LIFT Labs activities, Comcast NBCUniversal will showcase a wide range of the company’s products and programming at the Container Bar (90 Rainey St., Austin) Saturday through Monday!
