And though a few lucky ones have veteran leaders who&#8217;ve been through the process before, that&#8217;s the exception rather than the rule when it comes to university spinouts. It stands to reason, then, that start-up  managers are in dire need of best practices, and that&#8217;s exactly what Georgia Tech&#8217;s Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) is delivering. The center has posted a series of best practice documents on its website in an attempt to reach out to more of the region&#8217;s start-ups than it can work with directly. &#8220;We&#8217;ve been trying to reach beyond the bricks and mortar of Georgia Tech, to figure out how to help accelerate companies that  for some reason aren&#8217;t good candidates for our incubator,&#8221; says Stephen Fleming, vice provost of Tech&#8217;s Enterprise Innovation Institute and acting director of ATDC, a start-up accelerator. &#8220;How do we scale and reach people who we don&#8217;t share a water fountain with? One avenue is a better set of resources. These best practices are things we&#8217;ve been sharing with our existing clients for a long time,&#8221; Fleming comments. Several of those best practices &#8211; focusing on elevator pitches, business plan summaries, and investor communications &#8211; are detailed in an article in the December issue of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.technologytransfertactics.com\/content\/category\/en-current-issue\/\"><em>Technology Transfer Tactics<\/em><\/a>.
