Techstars Atlanta, in partnership with Cox Enterprises, concluded its inaugural program with Demo Day at the Tabernacle. More than 800 investors and supporters attended the event to hear presentations from each of the class participants.
 
Techstars Atlanta provides 90 days of rapid acceleration to boost entrepreneurs’ early stage business and product development efforts through focused education, mentorship and funding. Demo Day kicked off the 2016 Venture Atlanta Conference to offer investors a three-day startup showcase.
 
“Techstars has brought some great companies to Atlanta,” said Cox Enterprises Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Alex Taylor. “We want to do everything we can to continue making our hometown a welcoming place for startups and entrepreneurs.”
 
The program received applications from around the globe, including 69 countries and six continents. Of the six companies that relocated to Atlanta for the program, four are planning to set up permanent operations in the city.
