Industry Specific Programs for Tech Startup Companies
Accelerating Technology Startups Through Founder Coaching and Entrepreneur Support
Developing a tech startup company is challenging. Burnout, isolation, and setbacks are common. But the rewards are worth it: hiring your first employee, hitting $1M in revenue, and becoming profitable. These milestones require more than hard work; they need entrepreneur support and startup founder coaching from people who understand your journey. At ATDC, we provide that support through industry-specific programs for tech startup companies, connecting you with experienced mentors, tailored resources, and a thriving community.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be in an industry-specific practice area to join ATDC?
Your startup does not need to be aligned with one of the ATDC practice areas to be a portfolio company. We have many companies that are not within a specific practice area and thrive within ATDC.
Who do I speak with if I have a company that wants to sponsor one of the ATDC practice areas or help establish a new practice area?
Great question! If you have a company that is interested in sponsoring a practice area or even sponsoring ATDC through our community program, please let us know, and we will reach out to the company.
I’m not an ATDC portfolio member yet. How do I become one?
ATDC has three levels of programs for startups: Educate, Accelerate, and Signature, with Accelerate and Signature having industry-specific opportunities. Not Sure What Level You Fit Into?
