This should link directly to http://atlantatechvillage.com/.

Edit: Perhaps it should at least include the companies listed there for starters. =D

related - what's up with atlanta tech village during that building remodel? i drive by there all the time and it looks uninhabitable.

mhluongovor 12 Jahren

Lol. I work there. They are, in fact, going floor by floor. The finished floors are really nice. We've moved floors twice since I started in August, but are finally settled in in a corner office, and it's great. The first floor is about done now, and I believe the Octane will be opening soon.

wcbeard10vor 12 Jahren

Surprised any work can get done around there without a nearby Octane

mhluongovor 12 Jahren

Yeah you know it's a problem for me :P

atom-morganvor 12 Jahren

I've been in there a few times over the past few months. From what I've seen, they've been going floor by floor so while parts may look uninhabitable, everything else was coming along just fine.

its like a post-apocalyptic startup world, where devs are squatting in the remnants of old lawyer offices.

Its kind of awesome, but I imagine its not the most stable place to get work done at the moment.

There are a lot of startups not based out of ATV.

Anyhow - signing up for this. Excited to see what could come of it.

smedawarvor 12 Jahren

Thanks! Our goal is to profile all the startups in the community. Let everyone know that we'd love to profile their startup.

devilshaircutvor 12 Jahren

I'll send you some info via your website about my startup. Thanks again for setting this up. Very cool.

smedawarvor 12 Jahren

Perfect. Let's connect soon.

smedawarvor 12 Jahren

Thanks roberjo! We're hoping to connect with all the key players in the area and get every startup in the Atlanta area profiled.

Any tips like this are greatly appreciated!

Quick suggestion - for both semantics and SEO best practices, make the cities a subfolder instead of subdomain

Did you consider started.in/atlanta?

smedawarvor 12 Jahren

I'm completely with you! This change is at the top of our list.

Thank you for taking the time to send that note!

As an Atlanta native who might want to end up back there someday, this is great to see!

smedawarvor 12 Jahren

Great city! Great startup community! The support has been amazing. :)

apinsteinvor 12 Jahren

Just submitted -- fyi you have a bug in the form, if there's an error, it isn't displayed (Safari 7 anyway). I had to look at the XHR's in the console to see what error was being returned from the server :)

smedawarvor 12 Jahren

Very sorry about that. I'll take a look at our error log and see if we can fix.

Was it the contact or the application form?

nachiketkumarvor 12 Jahren

Signed up! Great to see all the opportunities here for startups- encouraging for folks like me who want to stay on here.

wil421vor 12 Jahren

Awesome. Fellow Atlanta native I think this is really great, I hope you can start a trend here. I would love to be able to see all the start ups in my city.

smedawarvor 12 Jahren

We hope so too! Thanks for the support!

I like the tags for region. Will you also allow tagging for university/accelerator affiliation?

smedawarvor 12 Jahren

Definitely! We're in the process of partnering with accelerators and incubators across the country. For some, we'll include a tag, and others, we'll create a sub-site. If you have any accelerators or incubators you'd like us to partner with, please reach out via our contact form or twitter.

Congratulations on the launch! Also an Atlanta native and signed up!

smedawarvor 12 Jahren

Thanks! Spread the startup news!

ATL, hold it down.

smedawarvor 12 Jahren

All day, every day.

swillis16vor 12 Jahren

A mention of http://www.hypepotamus.com/ might be useful.

jisaacksvor 12 Jahren

Maybe http://www.atdc.org/ also?

smedawarvor 12 Jahren

Thank you for the tips! We're always looking for more resources with which to partner.

smedawarvor 12 Jahren

We are working to partner with them right now. Thanks for the tip!

j-hernandezvor 12 Jahren

Signing up for this as well. Really great to see all the hard work and talent coming out of Atlanta. Shout out to fellow Atlanta devs

smedawarvor 12 Jahren

Thanks for the support!

eranationvor 12 Jahren

It would be nice to add a link to a crunchbase profile and add a startup I know in a more WIKI way... you need all startups in Atlanta to be aware of this page... there are quite a few, so you should make it as easy as possible to add a startup even if you don't work there. Let the WIKI gnomes do the work :)

smedawarvor 12 Jahren

Thanks for the feedback eranation! Our goal is to be less of a repository and more of a showcase, where startups are featured once a week. We find that lists of startups are rarely sifted through. Learning about one startup a week allows for a deeper knowledge of the startups in each community.

I kept a note of your feedback though and we'll keep an eye on other users feedback as well. We're a startup too and love hearing what everyone has to say. If I see a trend towards what you're asking, we may just implement a more WIKI approach.
