Tempest Droneworx™ has been selected as one of the Southeast’s most promising technology companies to present at Venture Atlanta 2026, the region’s premier technology innovation event and a leading national venture capital conference. The event will take place October 14-15 at the Woodruff Arts Center and Atlanta Symphony Hall, connecting fast-growing tech companies with top-tier investors, corporate innovation leaders, and strategic partners from across the country.
Now in its 19th year, Venture Atlanta has helped launch more than 1,000 companies, facilitating over $8.8 billion in capital raised and $22 billion in successful exits. Tempest Droneworx was chosen through a highly competitive application process, recognized for its innovation, market opportunity, leadership team, 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.
“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 brings data from robots, drones, cameras, sensors, RADAR, and other sources together into a real-time 3D common operating picture, allowing people and autonomous systems to understand what is happening and act on that 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 the systems they already have and integrate new ones as their needs change.
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 some of the Southeast’s most successful technology companies, including Bark, CallRail, Car360, Flock Safety, Florence Healthcare, ParkMobile, Salesloft, Kabbage, Bitcoin Depot, PrizePicks, Stax, SingleOps, Pindrop, and Terminus.
