Atlanta has a startup scene. Accelerators, coworking spaces, coffee shops full of co-founder dates. What it doesn't have is a single room where those people actually talk.
Pursue ATL is that room.
A Discord for people building things in Atlanta, and the people building alongside them.

ATL
Builders helping builders.
A room to build & grow together.
A place to share what you're building, talk about what's moving in ATL tech, and actually meet the people building alongside you. Plus two weekly perks on top.
A live voice room every week where members share what they're working on, get real feedback, and watch each other ship. No pitch decks, no stage. Just founders in a Discord channel. Drop in when it's useful, skip when it's not.
Events, openings, who's hiring, who's raising. Ground truth from people actually inside the scene, not the press release version.
Founders, operators, students, ecosystem folks. One room. All actively building something right now.
A free newsletter for members. We read a hundred sources so you don't. No “this changes everything” hype, no screenshot bait. Just what actually mattered this week, in under three minutes.

Not sure where something goes? Post in #general, we'll redirect.
The events calendar alone is probably worth the form.
Any stage. Pre-idea, pre-revenue, post-Series A, post-exit, it's all the same room.
If you're currently employed but sketching something in the margins, you belong here. Most founders started as aspiring founders.
Georgia Tech, Emory, GSU, Spelman, Morehouse, Clark Atlanta, KSU, SCAD, UGA — if you're building something on a campus in or near Atlanta, come in.
You're not the founder, but you were employee #4 and you basically run the place. You know who you are.
Program directors, community organizers, the people who actually make the networking events happen. You deserve a table.
There are better places for that. Several of them, actually.
If your goal is to sell something to the community, this is not the community. If your goal is to be part of the community while also running a services business, that's different — introduce yourself as a human first.
This one will surprise some of you, and it's deliberate. The dynamic changes when investors enter a founder room. Atlanta has excellent investor-founder events — Venture Atlanta, Startup Showdown, Atlanta Startup Battle — and you should go to those. This isn't one of them.
We're not going to card you at the door, but this community works because it maps to a real city where you can actually meet the people you're talking to.
