Tempest Droneworx™, a Houston-based real-time intelligence technology company, 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 event, taking place October 14-15 at the Woodruff Arts Center and Atlanta Symphony Hall, connects the region’s fastest-growing technology companies with top-tier investors, corporate innovation leaders, and strategic partners from across the country. Being chosen through a highly competitive process places Tempest Droneworx among a select group of emerging companies recognized for innovation, market opportunity, leadership, customer traction, and growth potential.
The significance of this selection lies in what it represents for Tempest Droneworx’s trajectory. The company has moved beyond proving that its technology works to demonstrating that it solves real problems. According to Ty Audronis, founder and CTO, “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.” This validation from high-stakes government and defense programs positions the company to attract the capital and partnerships needed to scale.
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. This allows both human operators and autonomous systems to understand and act on information as events unfold. Unlike systems tied to a specific aircraft, sensor, communications network, or AI provider, Tempest’s technology is designed to work across platforms and technologies, enabling customers to leverage existing systems and integrate new ones as needs evolve. This platform-agnostic approach lowers adoption barriers and future-proofs investments for defense, government, public safety, research, agriculture, infrastructure, and commercial markets.
The company’s Harbinger™ platform is central to this capability, and its Corvus MRDR™ (Modular Robotics Development & Reporting) engineering platform is entering the market. Corvus MRDR 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, moving incrementally from simulation to real hardware without rebuilding test environments. This could accelerate development cycles across the robotics and autonomous systems industry.
Venture Atlanta has a strong track record, having helped launch more than 1,000 companies, facilitating over $8.8 billion in capital raised and $22 billion in successful exits. Its alumni include successful technology companies such as Bark, CallRail, Flock Safety, Salesloft, and others. As Allyson Eman, CEO of Venture Atlanta, noted, “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.” For Tempest Droneworx, presenting at Venture Atlanta 2026 could be a catalyst for accelerating its next stage of growth, particularly as it seeks to expand its footprint in defense and commercial sectors.
