VENTURE STUDIO
“Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage.” - Niccolo Machiavelli, ‘The Prince'
We pride ourselves on helping early stage companies get the right help to increase the likelihood of success. Atlas uses some proven scientific tools, a collaborative approach and an ability to bring cost efficient resources to the venture. The value add is fairly simple – Atlas will increase the likelihood of success and save capital providers from choosing business models that will not work.
Our unique incubation process sets us apart – we choose only Founders and companies that have the maturity to listen and the passion to succeed. We vet the concepts, run them through our boot camp, set them up with a proven set of sub contractors and monitor their performance against key metrics. Successful companies are presented to our network of private investors. Michael Connolly is a successful entrepreneur with several notable exits. He recently was selected as Executive In Residence for Birmingham-Southern College.
