Go Sam Go ✅ Thanks for letting us be a part of your journey 👏
Its been a crazy year since we first deployed with Lisa Williams and her team at the Atlanta Braves in August of 2024 to help improve the Queues at their Clubhouse Store. The results were immediate and had a huge impact on fan experience by reducing the average queue time by 25 minutes. From the success of this deployment, the Braves expanded us in 2025 for the All Star Game and from this event we closed deployments with 3 other Major League Baseball (MLB) teams. This August we flew out KC to work with Jason Sinnarajah and his team to deploy with the Kansas City Royals in both retail and concessions. Shortly after that we flew out west to San Diego to spin up a retail deployment with the San Diego Padres. The week after we were back east deploying retail and concessions with the Philadelphia Phillies If you've never heard of Queues before we use computer vision AI to collect and process occupancy data to help teams provide the best fan experience, improve operations, and grow revenues. We are currently in talks with over half of the MLB, have incoming deployments with 2 NFL teams, and are working our way through all of Major League Sports. We are entering into our hyper growth mode and to support this next chapter we are raising $5M+ in capital from strategic investors in AI, SaaS, and Sports funds. Thank you to Sports Business Journal and Ethan Joyce for writing a fantastic article! https://lnkd.in/ev_zX_FX

Atlanta is redefining what startup success looks like and it all starts with ATDC. #ATDC #VentureAtlanta #Innovation #Entrepreneurship
14,000+ jobs, $200M+ in new revenue, and a nationwide talent pipeline. Atlanta isn’t just talking about tech, it’s building it. And it’s changing what startup growth looks like in the South. Last week at Venture Atlanta Conference, Ben and I got to see it up close. What’s happening here is special. And it starts with Georgia Tech and ATDC. ATDC isn’t just an incubator. Most incubators provide mentorship. This one builds companies. It’s a launchpad that connects early-stage founders directly to Georgia Tech’s research, talent, and mentorship. You’ve got startups building next to researchers. Students working with founders. And investors walking distance away in Tech Square. Here’s why this model is accelerating faster than anyone expected: - A steady flow of STEM talent from Georgia Tech, Emory, and other nearby universities. - Corporate giants like Delta, NCR, and UPS creating partnerships and exit paths. - A cost structure and lifestyle that make it easier to grow and hire compared to the coasts. Atlanta is redefining what startup success looks like outside Silicon Valley. It’s an ecosystem built for momentum. Where ideas, capital, and talent live in the same zip code.

Kiran Bhandari proudly accepted our award, joined by Angie Vaughn and Gabriella Rico representing Wripple at the gala - while Shannon Denton, Ray Samuels, and Bonny Davis Block cheered them on from another event in Florida. Huge thanks to the ATDC team for your mentorship, community, and belief in what we’re building.
