Start up accelerator – didn’t you mean San Francisco?

Nope.  While California is still the center of the universe,  our own backyard is fostering a growing and quite successful tech start up community.

My Mobuilder co-founder (Hank Nix) and I had the pleasure of chatting with the guys over at Shotput Ventures this morning over a cup of coffee. Right off the bat they were throwing around phenomenal ideas, and asking the questions that scream professionalism.  Since we are applying for their summer program, I don’t want to appear a total suck-up, but to say I was impressed was a pretty big understatement.  My $0.02 – If you’re starting a venture in Atlanta, at least try to talk with these guys – they’re engaging, professional, and smarter than all hell.
