Force of Good

Moving Forward

All the chatter that has been going on online sure has the early stage entrepreneurial group buzzing.  About 40 or so showed up for Open Coffee yesterday at Tech Square.  Heck, there were even at least two investors in the mix (Greg Foster of NMP and Clark Gilder) and at least one company (I ain't saying) that attended was talking raising venture capital.  I am expecting to see an equally energetic crowd at Startup Drinks this evening at Fado.

Given all this activity Alan Taetle and I have decided to hold off on the Open VC gathering he announced in the comments over the weekend.  ATDC wants to officially get involved and work with Alan, other investors, and the entrepreneurial community to more comprehensively have an impact in moving things forward.  Once that gets in place it will be announced over on PeachSeedz.

If you have any constructive thoughts (please no more self flagellation) leave them in the comments.  Or if you think they are better shared face to face I am now open on 2 this Friday and may just cruise over to Starbucks and be MOOF if you want some quiet conversation.

Excellent news, Lance. It is good to see the investment community here getting more engaged. Only good things can come out of this!

Mike and I are ready, willing, and able to jump in and help as well - just let us know.

Cheers.

Super awesome news. It's nice to see that all the blog and chats in person are making people rethink how the entrepreneurial start-up scene in Atlanta is growing and at least there's talk of change. Keep up the great blog posts and entrepreneurial meet-and-greets.
