"Great ideas come out of Atlanta. We have talented, smart people generating

The new website features a resource map, interactive events
calendar and a blog, which will showcase best practices and ideas from
well-known Atlanta entrepreneurs and thought leaders. It also includes
Atlanta’s startup deal flow, outlining angel investments and venture capital
that support promising area companies.
“Perhaps the most exciting aspect of our website is its
ability to showcase the name and logo of every startup in metro Atlanta,” said Bess
Weyandt, Startup Atlanta’s executive director. “Through our connection to Angel List, we have the capability to
import information about every local startup and feature each company in one
central location.”

this website, Startup Atlanta is becoming a go-to hub for entrepreneurs,
connecting them with each other and the tools they need to grow and
thrive. We invite the community to
contribute content to this project as we help the city’s young, aspiring
companies achieve success."
