TIMELINE
I’m often asked about the Atlanta startup scene and thought there should be something that tries to explain all of the excitement and progress. Allen convinced me to stay up one night and pull together my thoughts. (And then it took 3 nights.) I hope that you find it useful. Please send me any questions or mistakes: PJudge@PJudge.com. We are happy to host anyone that would like to visit the Atlanta startup scene.
