On Monday, we’re welcoming David Cummings, the mastermind behind Atlanta Tech Village, Pardot, and Atlanta Ventures. David isn’t just a serial entrepreneur with over 10 startups under his belt; he’s someone who pours his wealth and energy back into pouring gasoline on local ideas. He literally wrote the playbook on "engineering serendipity"—creating spaces where chance encounters spark multi-million dollar companies right here in our backyard.

What he’s bringing to the table for Buckhead Rotarians:

Real Talk on Building Community: David will share how he transformed a Buckhead skyscraper into the nation’s 4th largest tech hub, creating thousands of local jobs and raising billions in venture capital.
The "People-First" Business Playbook: Why culture, long-term trust, and human relationships will always beat flashy tech—a principle every Rotarian can get behind.
What’s Next for Atlanta: A peek inside his latest bold move—reinvesting in South Downtown to revitalize Atlanta's historical roots.
