AEI Startup Factory

02/27/2024

Dear Community Members and Valued Customers,

It is with a mixture of emotions that we announce the permanent closure of the AEI Startup Factory, the first co-working and event space that proudly served the Stonecrest and South Dekalb county area since 2017. We write this statement with deep appreciation for the support of and opportunities to serve our community.

Over the years, AEI Startup Factory has been dedicated to fostering innovation, empowering entrepreneurs, and driving economic growth in our region. We have been privileged to witness the birth and growth of numerous remarkable startups and witness the indomitable spirit of local businesses.

While the closure of AEI Startup Factory marks the end of a chapter, it also opens up new avenues for growth and improvement. We are genuinely excited about the future and the opportunities that lie ahead. One such opportunity is the New Black Wall Street Market, located less than half a mile away. Developed by the Allen Entrepreneurial Institute (AEI), the visionary force behind AEI Startup Factory, the New Black Wall Street Market a vibrant hub for small businesses and event spaces.

As we transition into this new phase, we want to express our gratitude to the Stonecrest and South Dekalb county community for their unwavering support over the years. Your belief in our mission has been the driving force behind our success. We are humbled by the trust you have placed in us and the lasting relationships we have built.

While we bid farewell to AEI Startup Factory, we look forward to continuing our collaboration with the community through the New Black Wall Street Market and other future endeavors. Our commitment to fostering entrepreneurship and empowering local businesses remains unwavering.

In conclusion, we extend our deepest appreciation to everyone who has been a part of our journey. We are grateful for the memories, the partnerships, and the lessons learned along the way. Together, let us embrace the future with optimism, knowing that the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship will continue to thrive in our community.
