Tempest Droneworx™ announced its selection as one of the Southeast's most promising tech companies to present at Venture Atlanta 2026, the region's premier technology innovation event and one of the nation's leading venture capital conferences. The event, scheduled for October 14-15 at the Woodruff Arts Center and Atlanta Symphony Hall, connects fast-growing technology companies with top-tier investors, corporate innovation leaders, and strategic partners from across the country. This selection is significant because it signals that Tempest Droneworx's real-time intelligence technology is gaining recognition in a competitive landscape, potentially unlocking access to capital and partnerships critical for scaling.
Venture Atlanta, now in its 19th year, has helped launch more than 1,000 companies, facilitating over $8.8 billion in capital raised and $22 billion in successful exits. Chosen through a highly competitive process, Tempest Droneworx joins a select group of emerging companies recognized for innovation, market opportunity, leadership, customer traction, and growth potential. The presenting companies span sectors including AI, enterprise software, fintech, healthcare, cybersecurity, climate technology, robotics, manufacturing, defense technology, and other emerging markets. For Tempest Droneworx, this platform offers a chance to showcase its technology to investors who understand the challenges of turning proven technology into a larger enterprise.
"Over the last several years, we've gone from proving that our technology works to proving that it solves real problems," said Ty Audronis, founder and CTO of Tempest Droneworx. "We've demonstrated our technology with the FAA and U.S. Air Force, we're working with universities and commercial customers, and we're bringing Corvus MRDR™ to market. Being selected for Venture Atlanta gives us the opportunity to tell that story to people who understand what it takes to turn proven technology into a much larger company. We're looking forward to meeting investors and strategic partners who can help us accelerate that next stage of growth."
Tempest Droneworx develops real-time intelligence technology designed to prevent issues from becoming serious problems through real-time insight. Its technology aggregates data from robots, drones, cameras, sensors, RADAR, and other sources into a real-time 3D common operating picture, enabling people and autonomous systems to understand and act on information. Unlike systems built around a specific aircraft, sensor, communications network, or AI provider, Tempest Droneworx is designed to work across platforms and technologies, allowing customers to use existing systems and integrate new ones as needs change. This platform-agnostic approach could be a key differentiator in defense, government, public safety, and commercial markets.
As in previous years, Venture Atlanta 2026 is anticipated to be a sold-out event. "Venture Atlanta is where promising companies get discovered and where the right connections can change what comes next," said Allyson Eman, CEO of Venture Atlanta. "This year's companies represent some of the Southeast's strongest and most ambitious founders and technologies. Being selected in such a competitive field is a significant achievement, and we're excited to give these companies a platform to connect with hundreds of investors and influential leaders who can help turn visibility into capital, partnerships, and growth."
Each year, Venture Atlanta brings together hundreds of venture capital firms, corporate venture groups, private equity investors, and Fortune 500 innovation leaders seeking the next generation of high-growth technology companies. Venture Atlanta alumni include successful technology companies such as Bark, CallRail, Car360, Flock Safety, Florence Healthcare, ParkMobile, Salesloft, Kabbage, Bitcoin Depot, PrizePicks, Stax, SingleOps, Pindrop, and Terminus. For Tempest Droneworx, joining this network could provide valuable connections and credibility.
