Managing Director of Atlas Accelerator Joins Entrepreneurs’ Organization, Seattle Chapter

March 30, 2010 - PRLog -- Seattle, Washington (March 30, 2010) --- The Seattle Chapter of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) announced today that R. M. “Mike” Crill, managing director of Atlas Accelerator, has accepted its invitation for membership. By joining EO, Crill becomes the 106th member in the Seattle chapter of the global by-invitation-only organization. Worldwide, EO enjoys a membership of 7300 entrepreneurs and business owners.

Based in Bellevue, Atlas Accelerator (www.atlasaccelerator.com) was founded in 1996 as a venture firm dedicated to helping start-up businesses and technology entrepreneurs grow their enterprises. Atlas offers fills rolls in accounting, marketing and revenue creation, finance, technology, product development, and other services unique to expanding startups. Additionally, the firm is an active participant in the angel community and has invested in over 100 ventures and is the largest seed-stage investor in the Pacific Northwest.

As the managing director of Atlas Accelerator, Crill contributes to overall business strategies and oversees the preparation of business plans, custom financial models and financial systems implementation. He has worked with over 200 companies serving as advisor, board member and CFO.

“It’s frustrating watching good ideas and great founders fail to achieve their potential for want of resources,” says Crill. “At Atlas, we provide the services that help early-stage companies succeed. I’ve joined the Entrepreneurs’ Association to help take my own company’s game to the next level.”

Founded in 1993, EO Seattle is the Northwest’s leading organization for entrepreneurs. Its members are engaged in forum-based groups that strive through a peer-to-peer environment to grow their businesses, improve their lives and contribute to the community at large.

Matt Wimmer, president of the Seattle EO chapter, says: “One of the ways the Entrepreneurs’ Organization supports members is by helping them face common challenges together. Mike’s background in business startups, entrepreneurship and angel investing—combined with his active community involvement and volunteerism—makes him an ideal addition to our mutually supportive organization.”
