A little breaking news here, folks. Through a strategic partnership between a number of groups, including the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG), the Georgia Research Alliance (GRA), the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, ATDC, Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD), AEA, and others, a new $30M early stage technology venture fund is in the formative stages. Still early in the process, but this is certainly good news for Georgia entrepreneurs.

Tino Mantella, the President of TAG joined us for a great podcast over at StartupLounge.com. In addition to giving us a nice update on this initiative, Tino also shared with us some other goodies, such as a new partnership with the ATDC. Take a listen for more details!

Cheers.

I had a great time yesterday chatting with Tino Mantella, the President of the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG). We had a lively discussion around professional online social networks, and where they’re headed. If you’d like to hear it, follow this link.

On a related note, Tino will be appearing as our January guest over on the StartupLounge.com podcast, so be sure to stay tuned for that. We’ll be discussing TAG’s role in promoting entrepreneurship in Georgia.

Cheers.
