I started Kartel in April 2017, and I had huge ambitions. I just didn't know in which direction we'd end up going. What originated as a multimedia entertainment venue turned into a startup, wheeling and dealing (pun intended) in automotive events! I spent way too much up front, going to major events, not selling a thing, and I loved it so much that I simply never gave up.

Here we are, fast-forward almost four years, and we've made a niche for ourselves. Me, my friends, our community - we've created a family in Atlanta unlike any other, and went from a weekly meet with 20-30 cars... to a huge overflowed lot boasting 400 cars and 1000 attendees a week.

Blessed we are, strolling into 2021 like giants. Thanks to everyone who has supported us, and to those who came to our last two seasons of events. This year, we take a giant leap of faith moving into a new monthly platform. Hold onto your seats. We're just getting started.
