I suppose you wouldn't realize it if you didn't go to Tech, but it would be strange if any Tech students weren't well acquainted with Tech Square. The school bookstore is there and we all had lots of classes in buildings there.
The fact that none of us talked about or knew about companies in that particular building, but were well acquainted with GTRI's building on 14th, speaks volumes.
In fact, in my time being part of the Georgia Entrepreneur Society crowd (which associated with people like Klaus), we never became acquainted with companies in that building either (circa 2005-2007).
I've seen a similar phenomenon in other universities trying to encourage entrepreneurship, including Yale with its Science Park initiative and Harvard with its Innovation Lab. My personal feeling is that university-sponsored entrepreneurship is doomed from the start. University-sponsored incubators in particular seem bad at producing good companies.
