SPONSOR THE AUSTIN TECHNOLOGY INCUBATOR

ATI very much appreciates and is grateful for our wonderful sponsors!  By sponsoring ATI, you can directly impact the growth of the technology ecosystem in Central Texas and gain access to new investment, partnership, and customer opportunities in the process.  

In addition to our annual funding partners, The University of Texas at Austin, The City of Austin, Austin Energy, and the State Energy Conservation Office we also have the following sponsorship opportunities:  

Internships:
ATI offers paid and volunteer student internships throughout the year.  In 2009, we started the first co-sponsored internship program with IBM!  We partner with corporations who want to work with students during the Fall, Summer, or Spring semesters who are interested in learning about entrepreneurship.  The students spend time at ATI and at the sponsor’s company to further their education and add value to both the Austin entrepreneurial community and to the sponsoring company.  It’s a great way for companies to enhance their relationship with The University of Texas at Austin and stay connected with the Austin entrepreneurial community.  Please contact Aruni Gunasegaram at agunaseg@ati.utexas.edu for more information.

ATI hosts a number of events throughout the year, targeted at our member and pipeline companies, relevant programs at The University of Texas at Austin, and local entrepreneurs.
