The Venture Arcade
As a Georgia Tech student, you have many options in front of you to take advantage of entrepreneurial opportunities on campus. From your very first idea for a company, all the way to getting paying customers, there is a path for you at Georgia Tech. If you have just launched a startup, but still need time to develop and scale, The Venture Arcade is for you.
Driving entrepreneurial success
The Venture Arcade is a startup accelerator that propels deep-tech innovation – providing the resources and infrastructure needed for you to take your innovation to market. It serves as a bridge between early-stage startup founders who have participated in campus initiatives like CREATE-X, Quadrant-i, and Biolocity and are focused on scaling their businesses and readying themselves for late-stage accelerators such as the Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), Engage, Fusen, and Atlanta Tech Village.
Located in the heart of Tech Square in the historical Biltmore House, The Venture Arcade offers:
- Mentorship expertise – Spend time with a vibrant community of successful founders and researchers who have commercialized their technology.
- Infrastructure – Work alongside your co-founders at the Biltmore, a state-of-the-art office space located in a historical building.
- Strategic programming – Hear about topics ranging from customer discovery to revenue modeling with classroom-like instruction.
- Funding opportunities
The Venture Arcade represents a pivotal step in bringing together the resources, expertise, and entrepreneurial spirit within our ecosystem as we look to establish Atlanta as a top national tech hub. By uniting these elements, The Venture Arcade will help startups scale from their first customer to long-term growth. This accelerator enables the community at Georgia Tech and beyond to translate groundbreaking research into high-impact ventures."
