Network of Prequalified Service Providers Launches Digital Marketplace

Madison’s Atlas Providers network aims to connect entrepreneurs with prequalified service providers

 

(MADISON, Wis.) – Entrepreneurs looking to quickly search, review and connect with prequalified service providers can now turn to Atlas Providers, which today announced it has launched a free, digital marketplace at atlasproviders.com to better connect emerging companies and area service providers.

By offering transparency into a service provider’s compensation model, key services and expert insight, Atlas Providers gives entrepreneurs one location to pinpoint, research and connect with local experts in insurance, legal, commercial real estate, wealth management, technology, accounting, digital marketing and human resources.

“As a measure of trust, entrepreneurs want to work with service providers who have experience working with startups,” Atlas Providers Co-Founder Nick Lombardino said. “That’s why we vet providers to make sure they specialize in working with emerging companies and offer services that align with an entrepreneur’s unique needs.”

Service providers affiliated with the Atlas Providers Network are required to go through an initial qualification process that includes, but is not limited to: interviews, reference checks, entrepreneurial givebacks (mentorship, volunteering, free consultations) and evaluation of compensation model (hourly wage, commission-based, etc.).

Lombardino, Ryan Waite and Derek Notman developed the concept in 2014 following feedback from focus groups with area entrepreneurs and service providers.

To best serve Madison’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, Atlas Providers is partnering with several local organizations, including the Wisconsin Technology Council, that cater to emerging companies.

“We are thrilled to have a strategic relationship with Atlas Providers,” Tech Council President Tom Still said. “Through our partnership, we are able to offer our members a local ‘one-stop shop’ for highly experienced industry experts.”
