Austin Technology Incubator

The Austin Technology Incubator is the startup incubator of the University of Texas at Austin. A program of the University’s IC² Institute, ATI has a 29-year track record of helping founding teams achieve success.
Value Proposition
“We Get You Funded”
ATI focuses on helping startups compete successfully in the capital markets. We don’t write checks. But we have strong, long-term, trust-based relationships with investors – the local angel investors community, local and national venture capital firms, and sources of public funding. It works. Some stats:
· 88% of our 2016 graduating class received funding while at ATI
· Members of that class have now collectively raised over $223 million
· Since 2009 ATI companies have raised over $1.27 billion in the capital markets and achieved over $900 million in exit value

ATI’s value to startups also benefits the Texas economy. In a ten-year period, ATI generated over $880 million in economic impact and created over 6,500 direct and indirect jobs.
How the Value is Delivered
We surround founding teams with talent that they couldn’t otherwise afford. That talent comes in 3 flavors:
· Our professional staff. Our team of full-time professionals is made up of people who previously were successful entrepreneurs, investors, tech executives, and consultants. They work with you to identify your most critical issues and design a custom program to attack them.
· Students and faculty at UT Austin. ATI’s Student Entrepreneur Acceleration and Launch (SEAL) program is our selective annual summer program designed to help student teams tackle the most difficult, deal-killing questions of their new ventures. ATI also collaborates with faculty in academic programs at UT – such as Texas Venture Labs in the Business School and Startup Studio in Engineering – to ensure that our companies have access to the full range of entrepreneurship support at UT Austin.
· Our network of mentors, advisors, and investors. We work with over 500 members of the Austin tech community – people who have been successful as entrepreneurs, executives, investors, technologists, professionals – to ensure we match the right people to the right problems at the right companies. We also collaborate extensively with other startup support organizations at UT Austin (including Blackstone LaunchPad, Texas Venture Labs, Herb Kelleher Center, Longhorn Startup, Cockrell Innovation Center and many more) and in Central Texas (including CTAN, Capital Factory, TechStars, TechRanch, SKU, SXSW, Austin Chamber and many others) so that our members enjoy the full benefit of being in Austin.
Our program is customized to each company. We don’t have one process that each member must follow. We’re made-to-measure, not off-the-rack. We find that’s the best way to get results.
