Fostering Culture in a Startup Community

December 8, 2015

Startups work long hours that demand an integrated life work blend. This requires a need to improve the overall experience at work for our teams to retain the best talent. Bottom line? Culture is king, and in the world of startups, a lack of strong culture can negatively impact your success. At the Village, we are passionate about fostering a strong culture of kind people who like to work hard and have some fun while doing it. Our culture (and our community) is what sets us apart- we know what we value and why we value it. We communicate it, and the Village team lives by it.Keith Zadig, a student at Kennesaw State University, is an intern with a Village startup Salesloft and is an overall awesome person. Inspired by being in the Village and working in the startup community, he created this documentary to showcase his experience of startup culture. Get a glimpse into Atlanta Tech Village and how we foster a strong culture that has people wanting to be at work and attracting top talent (featuring interviews with David Cummings- Founder of the Village, Karen Houghton- Director of the Village, and Kyle Porter- CEO of Salesloft).https://youtu.be/2C6VSMScB-sWatch the video here.
