Our history
Andreea Popescu first thought of the need for ATLytiCS while she was riding on a train and witnessing homeless people trying to rest. While shelters can be found in Atlanta, data supports that there were many setbacks to shelters such as strict housing and congested living spaces that further jeopardize people in need. Together with two other founders, she wondered if nonprofit organizations knew how to read data to draw conclusions and formulate solutions. While data collection can sound simple at first, the co-founders needed a vehicle to get nonprofit organizations the funding they need to help address their needs in data-driven ways. That vehicle was ATLytiCS.
ATLytiCS was born in 2017 through the initiative of three Ph.Ds: Beverly Wright, Andreea Popescu, and Khalifeh ALjadda. The group has since grown to a leadership team of more than 20, with volunteer meetings ranging between a few dozen to a few hundred!
