EO Atlanta president Mike Landman, CEO of Ripple, membership chair David Cummings, CEO and co-founder of Pardot and Hannon Hill, member Kevin Rathbun, owner of Rathbun's, Krog Bar and Kevin Rathbun STEAK, and accelerator Tony Riffel, owner of Octane Coffee, recently were featured in an Inc. magazine article about why, how and where to start a business in Atlanta. Our fearless leaders and members discuss why Atlanta is such a draw for small business owners because of the abundance of available commercial space and talent, as well as the small-town feel in such a big city. They also talk about the challenges start-ups face including finding available VC funding, traffic and too much sprawl.
