Regator Now a Member of the ATDC Startup Accelerator.

As of Friday, Regator is now a member of Atlanta’s Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), one of the nation’s top startup accelerators. The ATDC is, in their words…

The Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) is a startup accelerator that helps Georgia technology entrepreneurs launch and build successful companies. Founded in 1980, ATDC has helped create millions of dollars in tax revenues by graduating more than 120 companies, which together have raised more than a billion dollars in outside financing. ATDC has provided business incubation and acceleration services to hundreds of Georgia startups—most of which are not based on Georgia Tech research, but which benefit from the close proximity to the university.

Recently ATDC expanded its mission by merging with Georgia Tech’s VentureLab and with the Georiga SBIR Assistance Program.  The change will enble ATDC to greatly extend its reach to serve more technology companies along multiple growth paths and at all stages of development.  ATDC has opened its membership to all technology entrepreneurs in Georgia, from those at the earliest conception stage to the well-established, venture-fundable companies.

ATDC is part of the Enterprise Innovation Institute (EI2) at Georgia Tech, which helps Georgia enterprises improve their competitiveness through the application of science, technology and innovation.  ATDC currently has three facilities; two at Georgia Tech’s main campus in Atlanta, and one at Georgia Tech’s satellite campus in Savannah.

We are excited and interested in what the revamped ATDC can do for Regator and the startup community in Atlanta as a whole. We attended a forum last Thursday night where they explained their focus and new direction.  We’re fired up to make Regator succeed and we could always use extra help and advice. We also look forward to contributing as much as we can, for what it’s worth, to the other  Atlanta startups in the community, whether they are in the ATDC or not. Only through people doing exciting things and having each other’s back’s will the Atlanta startup community truly reach its full potential. We’re happy to be a part of it!
