Point the founders CreateATL can't take to Atlanta Tech Village and ATDC

What to do

1. Add the line below wherever a founder finds out they don't fit: your eligibility section, FAQ or application page.
2. When PursueATL publishes the Atlanta programs and funds comparison, link to it from the same line.
3. Let Atlanta Tech Village know you did it. The habit works best in both directions.

Why it helps

In the answers where the engines turned founders away from CreateATL for fit, they sent them to Atlanta Tech Village and ATDC instead. A founder who hears no from one Atlanta door should land at another Atlanta door, not another city.

This is the habit that makes Atlanta feel like one ecosystem to the engines, and to founders.

Who the engines pick instead

Atlanta Tech Village, ATDC

The questions this is for

• Where in Atlanta do early-stage tech founders actually work day to day?
• I work remotely in Atlanta and it is isolating. Where do I find other people building companies?
• Best places in Atlanta to find a designer or product person for an early-stage startup
• Which Atlanta communities are the best place to recruit early employees rather than post a job ad?
• What does a non-technical person in Atlanta with a business idea do first?
