Venture Atlanta is finally here.
We started working with some of the greatest venture stage CEOs in the southeast back on September 15th as we began the pitch preparation at the Atlanta Tech Village.
Since then, these 32 presenting CEOs have been through 3 rounds of pitch feedback. Most have pitched now to 37 investors, CEOs, and venture community members who gave pitch feedback over the last month.
Now that coordinating all those schedules is done, here is our unofficial recap from the first session:
