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

Thanks for the support!

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.

We hope so too! Thanks for the support!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Perfect. Let's connect soon.

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 :)

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.

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

Thanks! Spread the startup news!

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

Did you consider started.in/atlanta?

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

Thank you for taking the time to send that note!

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

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.

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

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

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 :)

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?

ATL, hold it down.

All day, every day.

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