The State of B2B Tech in Atlanta in 2018

January 2, 2018

Move aside, Delta Airlines, you are not the only significant business presence in the city of Atlanta, Georgia.

Tech is starting to make itself pretty comfortable in the most accessible city in the world. Notable B2B companies, incubators and startup accelerators are settling down in Atlanta thanks to a dynamic duo of a pretty fantastic cost of living situation and feel-good warm weather. And in September 2017, Atlanta threw in its bid for getting Amazon’s second HQ campus.

The Atlanta Tech Ecosystem

Did you know that Atlanta Tech Village, a supportive community for the city’s burgeoning startup ecosystem, is the fourth-largest tech hub in the world? Yah. That backs up the claim of Frank Strong, host of “Off Script”, a Q&A series with notable figures in the Atlantean B2B tech world: “Atlanta is carving out a name for itself in financial technology (fintech), cybersecurity and marketing technology (martech) which is great locally.”

That effort by Atlanta is represented in its standing in Cushman & Wakefield’s annual “Tech Cities 1.0 Report,” released in June 2017. Atlanta clocked in as No. 17 on the Top 25 Tech Markets to Watch list.

Even better, Forbes Magazine recognized the city in its “5 U.S. Cities Poised to Become Tomorrow’s Tech Meccas” article. According to Forbes, the total number of tech jobs have grown — nay, exploded — almost 47 percent since 2010, as “opportunities for Atlanta-based tech jobs, including software developer, software programmer, and computer support roles” have, yes, exploded.

 Note: Only software vendors on G2 Crowd with headquarters currently in the Atlanta area are included in graph.


 

We have compiled data on the state of the Atlanta B2B tech scene that includes all of the top-rated products on G2 Crowd which have parent companies headquartered in Atlanta. Our list is ranked by user satisfaction of a company’s top-rated product. To qualify, a product was required to have at least 10 verified user reviews.

For each qualifying product, we created a company profile to recognize what that company is and does, as well as give a little insight into its history. The data relies on G2 Crowd’s more than 300,000 B2B software and services reviews, or from public data sources such as LinkedIn, Crunchbase or each vendor’s website.
