Historical Successes

The Southeast has a track record of building successful growth companies and technology-based startups dating back to the founding of Scientific-Atlanta in the late 1950s. A partial list since 1980 would include:

Some of these companies have become household names, some have grown to dominate their market niches, and others have merged or been acquired by larger companies. In all cases, they demonstrate that successful startup companies can be created in the Southeast.
