In the first of a new series of short podcasts at StartupLounge.com that focus on profiling early-stage companies in the Southeast, we sat down with John Melonakos, co-founder and CEO of Accelereyes.nbsp; These guys are a very cool new company here in Atlanta which provides some exciting technology that they believe will help usher in a new age of "personal supercomputing".nbsp; Aside from the discussion about the company itself, we also spoke a bit about their experiences in participating and ultimately winning the Georgia Tech Business Plan Competition for 2008. Of course, Scott does a great job in trying to completely derail the discussion, by trying to find some practical applications for this new technology, especially as it pertains to getting faster framerates while viewing porn online), as well as trying to convince Google to buy them.nbsp; Jeez!

Podsafe music used within this episode: Neolith by Kevin MacLeod Work, Work, Bors23 from Germany All the Money in the World by Hutch Our format is a little out of the norm as far as podcasts go. We treat our efforts as a true "show" rather than a super-concise (limited) vehicle for delivery of information. Therefore, the podcasts can run a bit long (actually, it is largely driven by the guests and their responses.) While we try to have very substantive discussions, we also try to have a lot of fun along the way (and that tends to elongate the programming a wee bit.) :) Our theory is that if we are having fun during the show, hopefully, you will be having a little fun listening as well. A special thanks to John for coming in and hanging out with us! We welcome your continued feedback as well! If you have an interest in appearing on the show, becoming a show sponsor (hint, hint), have some suggestions for topics, have feedback, or would just like to email us and tell us to "shove off", we invite you to contact us. Enjoy!

My cohort Mike Blake took to the stage recently at the Technology Association of Georgia's Entrepreneur Society and delivered one of the best presentations I've seen in a long time. The topic was "Early Stage Capital in Georgia". And of course, the tape was rolling, and a slidecast of the presentation can be viewed/listened to by clicking on the slide image below. In my opinion, this is easily one of the most informative things we've ever published here. Specifically, he discussed: What the capital market is really like in Atlanta What the challenges exist How asset allocation works (great if you really want to know what you're up against) How the real estate industry is affecting early stage capital here The funding gap Everything you could ever want to know about angel investors What sources exist? How to do due diligence on an angel investor What angels really want Handling rejection How to smoke out "fake" investors What "good" angel deals really look like Market validation How much funding to solicit Your pitch Deal killers Advisors Closing the deal Typical investment terms Capital-seeking "to-do" list Some case studies Facts of life in the Atlanta startup eco-system How we can repair it If you weren't able to attend, you won't want to miss this. Much of his discussion will apply to other areas here in the Southeast as well ... Cheers.
