In this episode, Piyush Saggi, our CEO hosted the legendary David Cummings, founder of Pardot and currently the CEO of Atlanta Ventures.

[Atlanta Ventures](https://www.atlantaventures.com/) empowers entrepreneurs to start, grow, and learn. They also have an in-house studio where they co-found companies with passionate entrepreneurs to solve massive problems. They support entrepreneurs by creating an intentional and supportive community, educating entrepreneurs with relevant content and tools, investing in early-stage entrepreneurs with capital to elevate them to the next level and launching companies from their in-house Studio.

In 2007, David re-connected with a former Duke classmate, Adam Blitzer, and together they founded [Pardot](https://www.salesforce.com/in/products/marketing-cloud/marketing-automation/). After pivoting the business into the blossoming market of Marketing Automation, Pardot was acquired by ExactTarget/Salesforce.com in 2012 for $95 million.
