4 Quick Starting Points for New Angel Investors in Atlanta

Earlier today I had the chance to meet a new angel investor that just moved to Atlanta. After doing 10+ deals in his previous city, he’s looking to get involved here. While the tech startup scene is small, it’s fast-growing with big ambitions and there are a number of ways to plug in.

Here are four quick starting points for new angel investors in Atlanta:

• Atlanta Technology Angels – The largest and most active angel group in Atlanta.
• Venture Atlanta – The largest annual event in Atlanta for angels and VCs from across the country, hosted at the Georgia Aquarium every October.
• Atlanta Startup Village – The largest monthly gathering of entrepreneurs in the Southeast with 500+ people meeting on the last Monday of every month at the Atlanta Tech Village.
• Startup Chowdown – The largest weekly gathering of entrepreneurs in the Southeast with 250+ people meeting every Friday at noon at the Atlanta Tech Village.

Angel investing, by and large, is a word-of-mouth endeavor. With these organized groups, networking events, and AngelList, there are plenty of opportunities to invest in startups.
