The Advanced Technology Development Center, Georgia’s technology incubator, announced today that 10 startups will graduate from the program’s top-tier Signature portfolio.

The 2021 class marks four significant milestones for Georgia Tech’s ATDC. The 10 startups constitute the largest graduating class in ATDC’s 41-year history. They also bring the total number of graduating startups to more than 200 companies.

One of the graduating companies, FIXD, launched in 2014 by Georgia Tech students, joined CREATE-X, a Georgia Tech entrepreneurship program for undergraduates. After completing that curriculum, the company was accepted into VentureLab, Georgia Tech’s commercialization incubator, before coming to ATDC.

Finally, this year’s class includes the first graduate from Macon, Georgia, LBA Ware, a financial technology startup.

“This is an amazing class, representing a broad range of industries in financial technology, manufacturing, sensors, ecommerce, artificial intelligence, and information security,” said Frank Tighe, ATDC’s lead entrepreneur-in-residence. “We are extremely proud of the ATDC Class of 2021 and all of their achievements.”

The ATDC Class of 2021 will be honored October 23 in a special ceremony being held on the Georgia Tech campus. The class includes:

• Codoxo: Artificial Intelligence solutions that help healthcare companies and agencies identify problems and act quickly to control costs.
