Point the founders The Gathering Spot can't take to Atlanta Tech Village and Atlanta Technology Angels

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 The Gathering Spot for fit, they sent them to Atlanta Tech Village and Atlanta Technology Angels 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, Atlanta Technology Angels
