Most Innovative Companies List Includes Hello Package
Atlanta-based Hello Package, a Brown and White Ventures portfolio company, has been named one of the Top 40 Most Innovative Companies in the state of Georgia, by the Technology Association of Georgia! Hello Package demonstrated this through its commitment to logistics and security in package delivery. One sector where its operational excellence shines is in HOA communities, which deal with the same package challenges that multifamily properties have been navigating for years. Those challenges include: theft claims, missing deliveries, and HOA staff spending hours every week on something that should run itself. It's led to package issues finding their way onto board meeting agendas alongside landscaping and budgets. The HelloPackage Modular Package Room is one of the solutions the company's developed to respond to HOA package delivery challenges. A standalone, climate-controlled unit, Hello Package's Modular Package room can be placed anywhere on a property, requires no major construction, and is ready in as little as 30 days. Communities like Old Edwards Reserve at Lake Keowee in Sunset, SC have already made the switch and their residents have not had to chase down a package since. More than 100 million packages were stolen in the US in 2025. For multifamily and HOA communities, that shows up as theft claims, resident complaints, and liability that nobody signed up for. Every HelloPackage room starts with PIN-controlled entry. Residents and delivery drivers each have their own unique access code, meaning only authorized people can walk through that door. Every entry and exit is logged automatically, so there is always a clear record of who was in the room and when.

A Deeper Understanding of Venture Capital
We ask our interns to share their experience after their analyst internship concludes. Christopher Mularadelis, junior Finance major from St. Bonaventure University shared this: My Spring 2026 internship experience with Brown & White Ventures has been incredibly rewarding and impactful. Over the past three months, I’ve had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience across multiple areas of venture capital.
