ATDC annually graduates successful portfolio companies.
ATDC Educate Membership
Whether you are at the idea stage or if you already have a prototype, joining as an ATDC Educate member gives you access to a robust curriculum and coaching that together will provide a strong foundation for startup success. Members at this level usually are at the concept stage or are working on building a Minimal Viable Product (MVP), they are defining their value proposition, and identifying a target market. ATDC Educate membership is available to any entrepreneur in the state of Georgia,
ATDC Portfolio
The ATDC Portfolio consists of members at the Accelerate and Signature levels. Accelerate members usually have at least a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) or beta testing their product, are adding initial customers, and refining their business model. Signature members are usually adding customers, hiring more employees, raising venture funding, and learning to scale their business.
Startups can apply to be an ATDC Accelerate or ATDC Signature company all year round. Applications are vetted by the ATDC team via a rigorous evaluation process.
