DLA Piper & Grant Thornton Help Start-ups Get in Fighting Shape for Venture Atlanta 2011

Want to apply for Venture Atlanta but not quite sure where to start? Look no further because Venture Atlanta sponsors DLA Piper and Grant Thornton are each hosting a series of three seminars to help start-ups get their applicants in shape for Venture Atlanta 2011.  While Venture Atlanta is not affiliated with these seminars but we recommend any company interested in applying for a presenting spot to attend at least one of them.

The first seminar aptly named “Kick-starting your application” focuses on how to develop a compelling executive summary, which is a required document with each Venture Atlanta application.  There are two opportunities to attend the first seminar and both will feature a panel discussion followed by break-out sessions. The seminars are free but each is limited to just 20 attendees.
