Polaris Venture Partners is excited to announce that it will bring its spirit of “open source entrepreneurship” to SXSW 2011, by opening a special edition of  Dogpatch Labs.  On Sunday March 13 and Monday March 14 Dogpatch Labs Austin will open its doors to entrepreneurs needing a place to work and hang out.  DPL Austin will be located at Treehouse Pub, 501 East 6^th Street – right in the heart of SXSW action.  Similar to  Dogpatch in New York, Cambridge and San Francisco there will be free desks, WIFI, food, space for informal meetings and a special SXSW foosball room!  So if you are in between sessions and need a place to get some work done and prefer not to be in your room, hotel lobby or coffee shop, sign up at for a spot at Dogpatch Labs.

We would like to invite any and all entrepreneurs who are working on interesting projects to signup at  http://bit.ly/DPLatSxSW and tell us about yourself and your company.  While we do not have unlimited space we will try to accommodate as many entrepreneurs as possible.

Additionally, Peter Flint (@pflint), Mike Hirshland (@vcmike), Dave Barrett (@dbodbo) and Ryan Spoon (@ryanspoon) will be holding office hours at Dogpatch Labs and would be very interested in meeting with companies.   You can sign up here for meeting time slots:  http://ohours.org/PolarisVentures
