Companies in the ATDC Signature portfolio are those deemed most ready for long-term growth and success. ATDC Signature is a rigorous, metrics-driven, and milestones-based program for companies with transformative products.

To graduate from ATDC Signature, the seven startups had to meet several milestones: annualized revenue of at least $1 million, an identified scalable business model, and the ability to finance growth.

“Each of these graduates — across their respective sectors in financial technology, data analytics, health tech, and IoT — are game changers in their industries,” said Frank Tighe, ATDC’s lead entrepreneur-in-residence. “They’re also creating jobs, adding to Georgia’s economy, and continuing the state’s legacy of being a leader in creating high-value and high-growth technology companies. We are extremely proud of the ATDC Class of 2018.”

Showcase celebrates ATDC’s 38-year legacy of helping entrepreneurs learn, launch, scale, and succeed in creating successful Georgia technology startups. With the addition of these seven companies, ATDC has graduated more than 180 technology firms from its globally recognized startup program.

The Showcase, which draws more than 800 attendees each year, is the premier event in a series of activities taking place in Tech Square the week of May 7 during Tech Square Innovation Week.
