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.”

  “With the launch of 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."
