ATLANTA, GA


Atlanta, GA


WORK.LIVE.PLAY: THE 411

A hotbed of entertainment, the ATL is home to five professional sports teams and
a growing media and entertainment scene.

 

If you're a traveler, Atlanta's airport is one of the largest and most connected
in the world.

STARTUP SCENE HEADLINES

A growing startup community  is emerging alongside a strong Fortune 500
contingent and newcomers to the city like Airbnb, which recently announced the
city would be home to its East Coast HQ. Local startup, Calendly, led by Tope
Awotona, recently joined the unicorn club,  raising $350M at a valuation north
of $3B.  All of these businesses benefit from the region's deep and diverse
talent pool, with local universities like Georgia Tech, Emory, and HBCUs
Morehouse and Spelman College producing thousands of annual graduates.


The community is also home to many leaders who are helping to foster more
diversity, equity and inclusion in the tech ecosystem: Jewel Burks Solomon
(Google for Startups, Collab Capital), Rodney Sampson (OHUB, 100 Black Angels &
Allies Fund), Joey Womack (Goodie Nation), Ryan Wilson (The Gathering Spot),
Paul Judge (Softbank Opportunity Fund, Panoramic Ventures), Arian Simone
(Fearless Fund)  and many more.

DENVER


WORK.LIVE.PLAY: THE 411


An outdoor lover's paradise: quick access to skiing, mountain biking, climbing,
hiking, camping, fishing, and more in the Rockies. Denver is also one of the
sunniest cities in America, with over 300 sunny days a year!


Denver is the capital of Colorado, and the state's dedication to entrepreneurs

Dallas-Fort Worth region: Exxon Mobil (3), McKesson (8), and AT&T (9). 23 other
local companies are on the list including American and Southwest Airlines and

Atlanta, GA

years of work building the local innovation community, and now is the time to
get in and help build the future!

startups setting up shop there to access the LATAM market. eMerge Americas is

Minneapolis and St. Paul. The community has gone virtual to continue supporting

The land of 10,000 lakes means one thing: spending tons of time outdoors.
Minnesota boasts 5 national parks and 7 state parks: plenty of space to explore
when the weather is warm enough. Minneapolis is also known for its great food
scene, which means you'll have plenty of fuel for those hikes, bike rides, and
other activities.

STARTUP SCENE HEADLINES

Startups in the Twin Cities have raised billions over the last few years,
including $1.2B in 2019 and $814M in 2018. A large portion of that was driven by

hometown hero Jamf, a software company that helps other firms manage their Apple
