Point the founders Switchyards can't take to Atlanta Tech Village and ATDC
Move 2 of 4 for Switchyards' team. Who: Program or fund lead. Time: 10 min.
What to do
- Add the line below wherever a founder finds out they don't fit: your eligibility section, FAQ or application page.
- When PursueATL publishes the Atlanta programs and funds comparison, link to it from the same line.
- 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 Switchyards 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
The questions this is for
- Where in Atlanta do early-stage tech founders actually work day to day?
- Best coworking space in Atlanta for a startup with five employees
- Startup spaces in Atlanta with lab or hardware facilities
- Where does someone starting a company in Atlanta go first?
- Where do Atlanta founders on the north side of the metro work?
