Every initiative the ATL Tech Hub leads is tied to a single mission: make Atlanta the best place to build a technology company — and ensure every resident has a pathway into that future.
Atlanta Startup Growth Loan Program (ASGLP)
City-backed lending for early-stage startups ready to grow but not yet venture-ready. ASGLP bridges the funding gap so founders can build traction, hire their first team, and prove their model.
OTI’s flagship event brought together Atlantans into STEAM, entrepreneurship, and tech programming in 2025. Now, Avant South is continuing the city’s premier gathering for builders, investors, and innovators in 2026.
Atlanta has committed $85 million in city pension capital to private equity and venture capital — a historic first. OTI is actively pushing for expanded state-level investment policy through Senate Bill 23, which would raise the alternative investment cap for Georgia municipal plans from 10% to 15%.
ConnectGA is Georgia’s centralized entrepreneurship and innovation ecomap - designed to help founders, students, investors, policymakers, and ecosystem partners quickly find the resources, people, and pathways that support innovation across the state.
