Paul Judge has a great guest post on PandoDaily titled Hip-hop, housewives and hot startups: A guide to Atlanta’s startup scene. He lays out the standard talking points around Georgia Tech talent, large number of Fortune 500 companies, recent exits like AirWatch to VMware for $1.4 billion, and hot startups like BitPay and Yik Yak.

Beyond the prose, the real meat is embedded in a 67 page slide deck on Scribd called The Guide to Atlanta’s Start Up Scene.

Here are a few more talking points I’d add to the deck:

Paul did a great job on the content and I’d recommend reading The Guide to Atlanta’s Start Up Scene.

What else? What are some other things you’d add to the Atlanta startup scene slide deck?

    This is pretty indirect, but the Downtown Renaissance Partnership should be a good tool in reshaping downtown Atlanta and hopefully adding to the tech ecosystem in the city: http://www.gmanet.com/Paper.aspx?CNID=90088

    The deck is missing a slide about angel investors/groups and their importance to the early stage eco-system, such as the Atlanta Technology Angels
