A number of investors within the Atlanta Technology Angels and the Atlanta community have recently asked me if we (ATA) could provide a short program to help Georgia based entreprenuers understand the basics of angel investing—from an investors viewpoint.
I said, “Sure, when?”
They said, “How about this summer?”
I said, “OK.”
As the Atlanta Technology Angels has been investing in young technology companies since 1999 and has invested in over 40 Georgia based companies, a program such as this makes perfect sense. Additionally, investors in the Atlanta Technology Angels also have mentored dozens of Georgia-based entrepreneurs since 1999. Mentoring entepreneurs, as well as funding them, is not something we boast about–it is something we feel is a natural extension of what we do. Last, as there is often much misinformation spread about angel investing and angel investors, this is probably a timely program for Georgia-based entrepreneurs.
So, here it is:
“Angel Investing for Entrepreurs in Georgia”
When:
- July 8 (JULY 8 EVENT WILL HAVE TO BE RESCHEDULED DUE TO PARKING GARAGE COLLAPSE! EMAILS TO GO OUT THIS WEEK…)
