Grab A Drink At Octane

You don't have to be a member to take meetings at the Village when you have an awesome coffee shop in the lobby. Octane is a local Atlanta coffee company that serves fairly traded, fresh roasted coffee, fresh food items, and hand crafted cocktails. You can find Octane on the first floor lobby, so try your next meeting over a cup of coffee and the Village's super fast wifi.

Day Pass

While not widely marketed, you can in fact get a Day Pass at the Village. They are available Mon-Fri between 9am-7pm. Simply inquire at the main lobby desk and you can purchase a key card for the day for $35. Pro Tip: Join us on Fridays and the Day Pass comes with free lunch at Startup Chowdown!

It's a casual, catered lunch where you can meet some new folks and get a feel for our community. Pro Tip: Get there about 15 minutes early because the line goes out the door... literally. After lunch, plan to stay for the very awesome Pitch Practice at 1pm. Listen, learn, or offer to give your pitch for practice and feedback.
