They are in Atlanta as well. One of the strongest organizations in the city is TiE Atlanta.

I am formally attached to 3 early stage startups outside of my day job. In total these startups are comprised of 50% White and 50% Asian cofounders.

Another that I helping is founded by a young lady out of Ghana.

To say that minority populations are not well represented in the Atlanta startup community is not a statement based on first hand knowledge.

Being a member of Lance's 50% Asian cofounder club, I was going to reply earlier, but my internet gave out. And thank goodness. From reading some of the comments, I think I must be living in another Atlanta. I'll stick with mine, thanks.
