The 83 startups, representing 10 states across the South, have been selected as Venture Atlanta’s featured tech companies and will take the stage the conference later at the end of September.
For its 16th annual run, Venture Atlanta will be bringing together founders and investors at the Woodruff Arts Center. According to Venture Atlanta CEO Allyson Eman, a record-setting 550 startup applications were submitted, a 15% increase from applications submitted last year. 60% of startups were also from outside of Georgia.
This year’s theme for the conference is IGNITE INNOVATION, and for the first time there will be a “Startup Showcase Live” pitch competition where pre-seed and seed-stage entrepreneurs will square off for a $500,000 investment.
On top of pitches and headlining conversation, Venture Atlanta has attracted an impress list of speakers. Chief among them is Robert Herjavec, businessman and investor of “Shark Tank” fame, who will deliver this year’s keynote address.
