How to Get Connected to the Atlanta Startup Community Right NowCauseShift
General Assembly Atlanta asked me to give a presentation for people looking to get connected into the Atlanta startup community. So on July 31, 2014, I shared some candid views on how someone who's looking to launch a startup or already in a startup could increase their chances for success. The #1 thing you need to learn from this presentation is: The density of your shared experiences (created by places, events, and media) determines your destiny. So for the bulk of this presentation, I gave an overview of places, events, and media sources to help make it a glorious destiny.

through in today’s crowded market? Just as it has
with everything else, digital transformation has
upended the traditional rules of marketing. In less
than a decade brands like Uber and Airbnb have
attained the kind of consumer mindshare that com-
panies used to have to work decades to create. Part
of this is the simple fact that most of these newer
brands are technology companies; they provide
products and services that themselves can be built
almost overnight, thanks to the proliferation of
smartphones, cloud computing, and fast, free, and
universally accessible digital tools. But many of
these brands are also resonating on a deeper level
with consumers. We wanted to get to the bottom
of which companies best exemplified this—those
brands that have attained the emotional reso-
nance with consumers typically reserved for big
blue-chip companies, but in a fraction of the time.
So we surveyed 4,000 consumers and asked them
to name the brands that meant the most to them,
both overall and across a variety of industries.
We then sorted the list by industry, category, and
age to come up with our list of 10 “Breakthrough
Brands”—companies that, when measured on the
basis of how they resonate with consumers, sit side
by side with Apple, Coca-Cola, Disney, and other
mature brands despite being relative babes. The
10 names here are new and white-hot; they are all
tech companies; and they have all “broken through”
to claim space among the giants. All but two of
them are less than a decade old.
We’ve also shared some other key findings from our
survey, like the brands that received the most men-
tions overall—those that may have broken through
decades ago but still register highly in consumers’
minds. On that list, Apple trounced everyone else.
But it’s the breakthrough brands of today that we
find most compelling. These are the ones that are
best positioned to become the Apples of tomorrow.

Intro to ATL Startup Scene - General Assembly March 24, 2015Sandbox ATL
As part of the General Assembly - Atlanta launch week, Scott Henderson from the Sandbox Crew presented this introduction to the Atlanta tech startup scene. His main point is that your destiny is tied to the density of shared experiences you collect through physical spaces, events, and media.
In these slides, you'll find starting points for which physical spaces, events, and media can help you. He gives special attention to Tech Square, which is the gateway to Georgia Tech and the center of gravity for Atlanta's tech scene.
While these slides contain a lot of great insights, you'll need to claim your free high five in person since SlideShare doesn't support that functionality yet.

29. I cannot claim to know everything, so apologies for any errors or omissions, such was not
done so on purpose. Email me at the address below with any corrections thanks.
Mad props to Sam Fuller, whose incredible overview of the LA Startup Scene circa 2013
was brought to me towards the completion of this project, and probably would have resulted
in me not even making this had I known about it earlier. A few companies listed have come &
gone, but it is still an excellent resource for anyone looking to get started in this town:

And thanks to Michelle Garakian from the Mayor’s business team for
pointing me in the right direction on a few details, she’s a badass.
