Looks like they hit a sweet spot in terms of location between the Midtown and Virginia Highlands neighborhoods. These are hot and growing areas. I expect to see Ignition Alley fill up quickly. I’m astonished that there’s no other coworking facilities there. I guess that goes to show you this is still a new trend.

Looks like a trio of real entrepreneurs who saw a real need for alternative office space in Atlanta. I hope they do well. Atlanta needs this sort of officing solution. If there really isn’t any direct competition on the coworking front, there probably soon will be. Ignition Alley can get the first-to-market advantage.

This is really cool. I can’t believe that Atlanta didn’t have any other coworking facilities, though. That’s kind of weird. There must have been some jellys or something somewhere. Looks like Ignition Alley is poised to tap into a need there. I’d love to see a follow up report on their dealings in a few months.
