Tempest Droneworx™ has been selected as one of the Southeast’s most promising tech companies to present at Venture Atlanta 2026, a premier technology innovation event and venture capital conference. The event, taking place October 14-15 at the Woodruff Arts Center and Atlanta Symphony Hall, connects top-tier investors with emerging companies. This selection is significant because it provides Tempest Droneworx with a platform to showcase its real-time intelligence technology to hundreds of investors and strategic partners, potentially accelerating its growth and market penetration.
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. Being chosen through a competitive process, Tempest Droneworx joins a select group recognized for innovation, market opportunity, leadership, customer traction, and growth potential. This recognition underscores the company’s progress in transitioning from technology demonstration to commercial viability.
“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.” This statement highlights the company’s traction with government agencies and commercial partners, positioning it for scaling.
Tempest Droneworx develops real-time intelligence technology that aggregates data from robots, drones, cameras, sensors, RADAR, and other sources into a real-time 3D common operating picture. Unlike systems tied to specific hardware or AI providers, its platform is designed to work across platforms, allowing customers to integrate existing and future systems seamlessly. This agnostic approach could be a key differentiator in defense, government, and commercial markets, where interoperability is critical.
The implications of this announcement extend beyond visibility. Venture Atlanta brings together hundreds of venture capital firms, corporate venture groups, and Fortune 500 innovation leaders. For Tempest Droneworx, presenting could lead to capital infusion, strategic partnerships, and accelerated product development. The event’s alumni include successful companies like Bark, CallRail, and Salesloft, indicating a proven track record of fostering growth. As the company brings Corvus MRDR™ to market—a modular robotics development platform—investor interest could fuel expansion into new sectors.
Tempest Droneworx, a Houston-based SBA-certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, serves defense, government, public safety, research, agriculture, infrastructure, and commercial markets. Its technology has been demonstrated with the FAA and U.S. Air Force, including simultaneous control of heterogeneous unmanned aircraft. This selection not only validates its technology but also positions it to capitalize on the growing demand for real-time intelligence solutions.
