Good News for GloryWorks! Biz Owners: Alpharetta Accelerator Launches August 9

With Georgia leading the nation in new business startups, a new kind of small business incubator will launch with ribbon-cutting ceremonies 4pm-6pm on Tuesday, August 9, 2011 to serve the need for more and better small-business growth and job creation throughout the state.

 

The Alpharetta Accelerator has been designed by its principals to offer multiple new services to its clients, unlike other small business incubators. The services include a 75-member Board of Advisors; access to the soon-to-be-established $10 million Alpharetta Seed Capital Fund; and preferred access to the Atlanta Gathering of Angels, a group of accredited investors that meets twice monthly. The Gathering of Angels group has found capital for more than 375 young companies since it was founded in 1996 by Tarby Bryant, one of the managing partners of the Accelerator.

The Accelerator will be located at 221 Roswell Street in downtown Alpharetta, Georgia, in what the principals call full service, state-of-the-art and best of breed facilities complete with unlimited free parking and neighborhood amenities. It will comprise the entire first floor of the building which is the headquarters of Staffing Technologies Worldwide, a privately-held $60 million international technological staffing company owned by Jim McNabb, another managing partner of the Alpharetta Accelerator.
