No strangers to the Web3 community, three pioneering organizations joined together one Friday evening to host an informational networking event. 

Forces were joined when student groups Startup Exchange (SX), Georgia Tech Creatives, and the Sports Business Club at Georgia Tech – each representing entrepreneurship, creative content creation, and sports business, respectively – teamed up to host an evening led by Dan Porter, Founder and CEO of Overtime, a sports media company worth over $500 million.

Two of Georgia Tech’s startup-focused organizations, Startup Exchange and CREATE-X, collaborated to host an evening around entrepreneurship with a panel of experts, networking, and complimentary food and beverages.

With such a pioneering and progressive innovation ecosystem as Tech Square, it’s no wonder that Georgia Tech’s student group, Startup Exchange, hosted an afternoon of networking with none other than Contrary, one of Atlanta’s leading venture firms, at The Clubhouse. 

Once again, student-run organization TEDxGeorgiaTech (TEDxGT) took the stage at The Clubhouse by hosting their recurring semester event, Open Mic Night. And as their venue and technology partner, we at Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club helped execute the evening that showcased the myriad of talents amongst students, members, and guests!

Meet Heather Worthan, Content Producer at Georgia Power Community and Economic Development. When she isn’t busy creating content, you can find her most likely out on the water!

The second of February not only celebrated Groundhog Day, nationally, but also commemorated the annual kickoff of our student partner, Startup Exchange, locally in Tech Square!

We kicked off February in full-force with an artificial intelligence (AI)-inspired activation right in the lobby of Centergy during lunchtime.

As a community filled with entrepreneurs, innovators, and researchers, stress can often be associated with such career paths. As a way to help negate this detrimental response – and edify productivity – we sought to arm our members with beneficial techniques via our Recess: Journaling Workshop. 

In honor of welcoming the new year and the first week back to school, we hosted a Pop-Up at the Technology Square Research Building (TSRB) centered around our members’ focus for the new year and the tools they would need in order to succeed. 

In early December, as a way to wrap up (see what we did there?) the end of the year, we hosted our annual Tech Square holiday party for all of our community members and tenants as a small token of our appreciation. 

Student entrepreneurs face unique challenges launching startups while balancing academics. To address this and much more, the Startup Exchange Summit ATL, hosted in The Clubhouse, boasted an evening dedicated to connecting founders and funders through a celebration of innovation and creativity right in the heart of Atlanta.

Once again, our student partner and Georgia Tech civic organization, Bits of Good (BoG), hosted their biggest semester event at The Clubhouse and invited members and the local community to attend. The Showcase: Bits of Good Demo Day featured the latest advancements in web, app, and software development for the local non-profit organizations they partnered with.

GTXR was back at it again in The Clubhouse, fresh off the heels of their evening of exploring the Metaverse, but this time hosting a more intimate gathering. Their XR Couch Talk invited community members to converse with star speaker, Aditya Vishwanath, Founder and CEO Inspirit, Forbes Under 30, Ex-Google, Georgia Tech Grad, Stanford PhD, and Stanford Knight-Hennessy Scholar.

In order to introduce students from different verticals to the startup and entrepreneurship ecosystem, Startup Exchange (SX) partnered with several Georgia Tech (GT) groups to not only educate others, but also invite attendees to hear from a local success story.
