Companies selected to participate in Backed By ATL will receive help with recruitment and talent acquisition as well as sales, marketing, and leadership development. The initiative will also connect participating companies with potential investors and other financial partners. In addition to promoting economic development and job creation, Backed By ATL aims to bolster the region’s reputation for supporting high-growth companies.
