Seth Radman | Co-Founder @ Crescendo
@sethradman
Seth recently graduated from Georgia Tech and am the Co-Founder of Plutonium Apps and Crescendo. You can learn more about his past experience on his LinkedIn page.
During his sophomore year of college, he realized that so many people have great ideas to solve everyday problems, and he wanted to help them. Seth co-founded his first startup, Plutonium Apps, with the mission of giving everyone the opportunity to get their idea out there by offering custom mobile app development services. Since starting Plutonium Apps in 2014, his team has helped their clients raise over $3M in funding, won a national pitch competition, partnered with a $25M investment company, and have earned the trust of 30+ clients including TechSquare Labs, UGA, and the Atlanta Hawks.
Seth is currently in the Georgia Tech CREATE-X Startup Launch program working on his second startup, Crescendo. Crescendo is an interactive music trainer that helps middle school and high school student musicians boost their confidence and get better faster. It uses Machine Learning to analyze a musician's performance in real time.
He's been a Hackathon judge and mentor at HackGT, TechSquare Labs, HackGSU, and ATL Startup Battle. He has been active in helping mentor and empower women in technology.

Noelle London | Manager of Entrepreneurship and Innovation @ Invest Atlanta
@NoLinNica
Noelle London has always had a passion for supporting entrepreneurial communities. After a stint in the Peace Corps teaching entrepreneurship, she landed in Washington D.C. connecting founders through 1776, an international startup catalyst program and funding organization. But with a desire to move to a city with a sustainable and growing ecosystem, she sought out a new opportunity.
She picked Atlanta. Now, in her new position as Manager of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Invest Atlanta, her excitement for the city is palpable.
That newfound appreciation will serve her well — London is at the helm of some of the city’s most innovative projects at Invest Atlanta, Atlanta’s Economic Development Authority. While continuing projects passed down by her predecessor Sam Adams, including Smart City pilots, she hopes to build bigger resource kits for startups and enterprises to fill in gaps she sees (connections to investments, talent, and more) and build a stronger support system.
