Come for the Ride…

In an effort to justify my whining over the last few weeks over the dissatisfaction of the Atlanta early-stage startup scene, I’ve decided to help be a part of the solution than to sit around and do nothing.

After all… We are the change we’re looking for.

If you’re interested in helping to change, grow and foster the Atlanta startup community, you should register for the START Atlanta kickoff event.  More information below…

START Atlanta, a non-profit organization started by local Atlanta entrepreneurs is holding a kickoff event the weekend of September 19-21 to bring together Atlanta-based angel investors, VC’s and Atlanta entrepreneurs to help connect the Atlanta Startup Community.

The vision of START Atlanta is to provide the Atlanta early-stage technology startup community access to knowledge and capital necessary to launch new businesses. START Atlanta focuses on very early-stage companies in Atlanta that are typically below the radar of the angel and VC community. The funding needed for these companies to reach their first milestone is usually between $15k to $50k. START Atlanta plans to help companies network within the Atlanta startup community and to help raise the needed capital to build these companies to a level where they can seek additional rounds from angels or higher.  START Atlanta’s technology platform will also make it easy to allow investors to invest in smaller amounts and help bring transparency to the local technology companies.

For more information, check out the START Atlanta website.
