Serial Entrepreneurs at the Village

When originally thinking about the Atlanta Tech Village, I viewed it as community and office space for first-time entrepreneurs. After a month, it became readily apparent that serial entrepreneurs and venture-backed startups wanted to be in the community just as much as first-time entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs, whether on their first try or fifth try, want to be around each other.

Here are a few ideas about serial entrepreneurs at the Village:

• Entrepreneurs, even ones that have been so successful so as to never have to work again, enjoy the energy and camaraderie that comes with a strong community
• Markets and technologies are changing so fast that even if you were successful before, the same tactics applied again aren’t guaranteed to succeed
• Talent is always at a premium, so being in an awesome environment for recruiting new talent into the startup world is always beneficial
• Leadership skills and the importance of great people are the same, regardless of first-time or serial entrepreneurs

So, the Village isn’t a home for first-time entrepreneurs; it’s a home for all entrepreneurs.
