Tempest Droneworx™ has been selected to present at Venture Atlanta 2026, the Southeast’s premier technology innovation event and one of the nation’s leading venture capital conferences. The announcement positions the Houston-based real-time intelligence company among a select group of emerging tech firms recognized for their innovation, market opportunity, leadership team, customer traction, and growth potential. Venture Atlanta 2026 will take place October 14-15 at the Woodruff Arts Center and Atlanta Symphony Hall, bringing together the region’s fastest-growing technology companies with top-tier investors, corporate innovation leaders, and strategic partners from across the country.
The significance of this selection extends beyond mere visibility. Venture Atlanta, now in its 19th year, has helped launch more than 1,000 companies, facilitating over $8.8 billion in capital raised and $22 billion in successful exits. Its alumni include prominent technology companies such as Bark, CallRail, Car360, Flock Safety, Florence Healthcare, ParkMobile, Salesloft, Kabbage, Bitcoin Depot, PrizePicks, Stax, SingleOps, Pindrop, and Terminus. For Tempest Droneworx, presenting at this event could serve as a catalyst for securing the investment and partnerships needed to accelerate its next stage of growth.
“Over the last several years, we’ve gone from proving that our technology works to proving that it solves real problems,” said Ty Audronis, founder and CTO of Tempest Droneworx™. “We’ve demonstrated our technology with the FAA and U.S. Air Force, we’re working with universities and commercial customers, and we’re bringing Corvus MRDR™ to market. Being selected for Venture Atlanta gives us the opportunity to tell that story to people who understand what it takes to turn proven technology into a much larger company.”
Tempest Droneworx™ develops real-time intelligence technology designed to prevent issues from becoming serious problems through real-time insight. Its Harbinger™ platform aggregates, controls, analyzes, and disseminates information from unmanned systems, security cameras, LiDAR, thermal and RGB sensors, RADAR, satellite data, and other sources into a real-time 3D common operating picture. Unlike systems built around a specific aircraft, sensor, communications network, or AI provider, the technology is platform-, sensor-, communications-, AI/ML-, and presentation-agnostic, allowing customers to integrate existing and future systems without being locked into a single hardware or software ecosystem.
The company’s technology has been demonstrated through programs with the Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Air Force, including simultaneous control of heterogeneous unmanned aircraft and the development of airspace deconfliction and real-time 3D common operating picture capabilities. Tempest Droneworx™ is also bringing Corvus MRDR™ (Modular Robotics Development & Reporting) to market, an engineering platform that allows researchers and developers to build and test robotics, autonomy, cooperative control, and multi-vehicle technologies using combinations of virtual and physical systems in the same environment.
“Venture Atlanta is where promising companies get discovered and where the right connections can change what comes next,” said Allyson Eman, CEO of Venture Atlanta. “This year’s companies represent some of the Southeast’s strongest and most ambitious founders and technologies. Being selected in such a competitive field is a significant achievement, and we’re excited to give these companies a platform to connect with hundreds of investors and influential leaders who can help turn visibility into capital, partnerships, and growth.”
As in previous years, Venture Atlanta 2026 is anticipated to be a sold-out event. Each year, it brings together hundreds of venture capital firms, corporate venture groups, private equity investors, and Fortune 500 innovation leaders seeking the next generation of high-growth technology companies. For Tempest Droneworx™, the opportunity to present could mark a pivotal step in its evolution from a proven technology provider to a scalable commercial enterprise, particularly as it targets defense, government, public safety, research, agriculture, infrastructure, and commercial markets.
