CREATE-X Hosts Preview Day for Summer Session Startups

CREATE-X, Georgia Tech’s startup launch program, hosted a private event in The Clubhouse at the end of June to preview the progress of the startups enrolled in the summer session. And fortunately for us at Tech Square ATL (TSQATL), they were able to share an exclusive sneak peek!

The program, which helps students and alumni launch their projects from ideation to fully functioning and viable startups, invited 90 groups (!) to practice their pitches and receive candid feedback from their coaches, mentors, and other invited guests. Companies centered around AI products, sustainability, wearable technology, medical technology, and everything in between gathered together that afternoon, while also enjoying the nourishment necessary for a full day of activity from local food truck, Gyro Chef.

Founders of one startup, WheelChariot, were present that day, sharing their passion around rating and reviewing businesses on various accessibility factors (including parking, bathroom facilities, sensory stimulation, and more) with other participants and attendees. The mobile app and website focuses on improving accessibility for people with disabilities by allowing users to rate and review businesses based on their accessibility. Ultimately, this helps people with disabilities – and their caretakers – find accommodating businesses while also holding others accountable. By emphasizing accessibility, they aim to create a more inclusive society where everyone has equal access to goods and services.

SellRaze, a next-generation ecommerce platform that allows online businesses to quickly create listings across marketplaces at the click of a button, was just another example of an innovate startup also present. 

In general, it was exciting to see young founders and entrepreneurs gather together to share their ideas and progress while absorbing invaluable insights and expertise as well!  And to check out the official Demo Day of 75 cohorts, click here.
