And right above that is the Georgia Tech Shell College of Business.
And this is called the text choir of Atlanta. Right? The most happening place in terms of technology and startups and everywhere. Right? And and this this basically this street goes into the dorms and all the, the big schools and stuff.
And And there are a lot of, you know, a lot of nice, restaurants around here, especially, you know, for international students that come here a lot. And it’s really, really nice nice place. You know, I mean, you got an Amazon market there too. It’s a very diverse and very, you know, fun place to hang out. And this is a nice spot ranking, research university for some point.
Right? That is that is very important because, there are some really, really phenomenal research that’s going on here. And in the EISquire and the ATDC, they all help commercialize that innovation. Right? Bring that industry into the I mean, bring that research for digital industry, maybe for at scale.
Right? That is another very, very important at scale. And here you can see these are the organizations that’s part of this GD, a JurgiTech Enterprise Innovation Institute, then ADDC, Georgia Tech Accenture, Georgia Hong. And also there is some people that you might have thought as a lot of So so we’ll we’ll go into the building. This is the Center G 1 Building.
It’s the you know, that is 75 Third Street. So we’ll we’ll go into the building. So so we’ll walk into the building. This is, you can see here, the innovative ideas. So we’re gonna go there.
So this is the Second Floor, and and you can see all these companies that have been shown in this, monitor. And over this load proof here, you’ll see you’ll see load proof here. I j k l. So that’s load proof. Right?
Enterprise portal documentation system on this. This is the layout for the Second Floor. We are actually in the Third Floor. So I’ll just show you guys what this And, basically, you know, there are a lot of small small companies that are here. Right?
You know, this is the community room where they do all the training program and things like that. So, you know, I I walked into this in 02/2015, and they gave me a small office, you know, of so I took that all by myself. And, you know, I I really my first day was like, you know, hey. What the heck? I’ve gotten myself into that.
That’s what I was, you know, trying to figure out. Here’s another, you know, American office. Then here is here is some more stuff. And then again, you can see the layout of the, you know, building here. And there are a lot of lot of small, small companies like this here.
Right? So, you know, and this is all the officials of the agency that sit here. And then here, you know, here there’s one company that looks like this is vacant as well. And here there’s another company, Stedex. And and, you know, there are a lot of small small companies here.
And usually, these founders start here, you know, with this one office seat here. This is one office. I think somewhere here is where I started, and we got some, you know, more space available, here as well. So you can you can, you know, see all these small small companies. So this has a SOPU.
So that’s the Suite 2187. So, you know, you see this is a larger company here. This is another one. This is another one. So like this like this, you know, a lot of a lot of small small companies, right, they have their own small suites, you know, they’re they’re, here.
And and they have some very, very good infrastructure as well. Right? I know that is very important because especially for small companies like us, you know, it’s it adds a lot of credibility and it also makes it easy to have some nice professional meetings and, you know, some big company wants to meet with us because we we have this cool technology. We can meet here in a nice place. Right?
I mean, because when I started, I used to, you know, call people from my my basement. You know? I mean, we had a great product. You know? We had a great technology, and it was moving the needle.
It was really adding value. And imagine right? But, you know, I’m calling from my basement and, you know, I did a b to b sale that’s extremely important because you really have to have someone that is, you know, investing in you and and taking that product idea to his boss and to his team and then showing that, hey, guys. Look at this. You know?
This is something that we gotta check check it out. And this is a really nice hardware lab that we have here.

And then there’s one there are more companies here. Right? These guys these guys are vacant as well. And there are more companies here. And, and I mean, we’ve got the mail room there to receive our mails.
And this is I think I I know this one is simulate. There’s a nice lady from UK that has that has started this one. And, yeah, I mean, right, obviously, now you gotta kind of you know, that is what these guys nicely incubate and foster, you know, the companies that are here. Right? That is very important thing because, because, you know, like, you know, we all the entrepreneurs are very ambitious and they come up with ideas, but somebody has to, you know, support them to be successful.
Right? That’s what that’s what we do. So here, there are more companies, you know, and and this is this is the, you know, really nice pantry area, you know, for you know, have a nice lunch and relax. More more companies here as well. So here there are more companies, SpeedScale, and then, you know, more more more companies.
So so yeah. I mean, you know, I came here in 02/2015 all by myself wondering, you know, what what what I’m going to do. How am I going to, you know, build this company, scale this company, and now now we got, you know, like, close to 50 people in our team. So so that’s something. Right?
I mean, that’s something from where I started, and all that was possible because because of the support from this, organization called EDD, and that is supported by state of Georgia. Right? And they have they have, you know, regular graduation programs and things like that. It’s essentially like we’re gonna go to the Third Floor where, Smart Guardian office is. So we’re taking the elevator again, and it’s a Sunday, so, you know, it’s it’s kind of a little slow.
I think there is some construction that’s going on as well, so just, you know, be mindful. And, yeah. And, so this is construction. So, now let’s bypass that. And then, yeah, this is here is another community room that it’s a large room that you can use for training and So here, there are more companies.
Right? More companies that do the same thing. Again, nice pantry area, the coffee machine, vending machines, snacks, and all that. Right? So we’ll we’ll keep going.
