Naturally, as the largest venture capital conference in the Southeast, we were curious: What does it take to wear the Midas crown? We asked these Venture Atlanta panelists.

We’re proud to celebrate this milestone by revisiting all of the achievements, growth, challenges, and changes that have made this groundbreaking event what it is today.
“Venture Atlanta is (IMHO) the absolute best regional VC conference out there. Everyone from the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and beyond is in attendance, and the quality of the people and networking is just top-notch. The content, the startups being showcased, the venues, the food, the schedule, the app... all just work together seamlessly. And they've somehow improved it each year. Can't wait until next year!”
“Even though we weren’t selected to pitch this year, just attending Venture Atlanta was invaluable. It led to new opportunities to chat with several key customers and I’m thrilled to share that we even secured an investment. Thank you Venture Atlanta team!”
“Just attended my first Venture Atlanta conference and was absolutely blown away by the first-class event that was put on. It was meaningful, memorable, and enriching.”
“Thank you Venture Atlanta for an amazing week. I know SF Tech Week is going on this week, but I am so glad that I am here. I am leaving so fired up about this city and tech ecosystem, and I promise I will be back.”
“Venture Atlanta is worth traveling to! It’s best described as 48 hours of seeing everyone you know in the Atlanta tech scene and knocking out a year’s worth of meetings.”
“One year ago, I went to Venture Atlanta, and it had more of an impact than we ever thought it could! Venture conferences like these are not just about finding potential investors. They’re also about building out your network, discovering mentors, and connecting with like-minded individuals.”
“This was my first Venture Atlanta. What impressed me the most was the friendly and collaborative interaction among the attendees. It wasn't just about who is getting the best deal but about how we can enable founders, create jobs, and foster relevant future technologies. I will definitely return!”
“As a college student attending one of the Southeast’s largest venture capital conferences, the past two days have been nothing short of remarkable. I was able to network with industry leaders, watch pitches for a $500K investment, and listen to inspiring keynotes.”
“Venture Atlanta attracts some really great founders and investors. I highly recommend founders participate in conferences like this one as it can be a catalyst for business growth.”
“We received multiple term sheets after showcasing at VA 2019 and ended up moving forward a firm that has proven to be the ideal partner for our company. Fast forward to VA 2024, we were selected to pitch on stage, and the opportunity has been nothing short of amazing! The coaching and mentorship we received through the process was incredibly effective. Thank you for all you’ve done for the Atlanta startup community!”
“What an honor it was to speak at this year's Venture Atlanta conference. I had the privilege of meeting some amazing people and hearing about the incredible innovation happening all around us. Shout out to the VA team for running the most amazing event. I don’t think I have ever seen an event this large run so smoothly. Looking forward to continuing these connections!”
“Venture Atlanta 2024 was one for the books! The VA team knocked it out of the park this year — not just with the caliber of companies on stage but also with the investors and leaders in the room who all had a goal of elevating and supporting the Atlanta Tech Ecosystem!”
“I had an amazing time attending Venture Atlanta! It was wonderful catching up with so many people who supported me years ago when I was just starting my venture capital journey in Atlanta. I was also excited to meet new founders and investors from South Carolina. The potential in SC is growing, and it was especially great to see SC represented in this year’s pitch competition!”
“Just wrapped up a fantastic couple days at the Venture Atlanta conference! Events like these always remind me that I love what I do and I value the connections that I have and continue to make with founders and fellow investors. Great to see the Southeast startup ecosystem thriving and growing!”
