Venture Atlanta 2009 Wrap Up

The Venture Atlanta 2009 conference wrapped up today with two great keynote speakers and 22 companies presenting their six minute investor pitch. As conferences go, the event was extremely well done and the venue worked out great. Here are a few quick thoughts from the event:

• The companies were mostly early stage with revenues under a million for this calendar year, and naturally, huge growth projections
• Most companies were looking to raise an average of $2M – $3M in a Series A or Series B round
• The tabletop area for presenting companies to talk to investors was separated from the main area and didn’t get as much traffic as you would expect
• The event had a heavy number of service providers, all of whom were very nice

TAG, Atlanta CEO Council, and the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce did a great job putting on the event.
