I’m going to start a new series titled Atlanta Startup Advantages and talk about some of the many great attributes Atlanta has for young technology companies. With today’s technology, companies are able to be so much more capital efficient, and take advantage of the many resources a city like Atlanta has to offer. Here are some topics that come to mind:
- Young Professionals
- Georgia Tech
- ATDC
- Hartsfield-Jackson Airport
- Cost of Living
- Technology Community
- Service Providers
Please let me know of other topics to add to the list.
I would balance the Technology Community with a vibrant Creative Community. Add this list up and I concur that Atlanta (ITP AND OTP) is very fertile ground!
David:
How about our Ignition Alley (http://www.ignitionalley.com), the very startup friendly coworking space which is essentially a “pay-your-own-way” startup incubator? We’ve tried hard to make sure all the “cool kids” are here and thus far we’ve done a pretty good job of it. Would love to have you come over soon and chronicle our adventure.
Thanks Mike. I’d enjoy coming by and seeing the place.
We have open houses Friday from 2pm=7pm for the foreseeable future, or you could contact me to schedule another time (to make sure I’d be here to show you around.)
