For years, one of the biggest knocks on Atlanta’s startup community was the dearth of early stage capital. Capital is hard to come by outside the money-center regions in the country, but people assumed most big city startup communities still had enough. This was not the case, especially for Atlanta, which has a vibrant startup scene.
With last week’s announcement that Tech Square Ventures just closed on the first $26 million of their new $75 million fund, it dawned on me that Atlanta now has a respectable amount of early stage capital. Finally. With so many funded startups (see Crunchbase Atlanta), and most of the funding come from outside the region, I was optimistic we’d develop local venture funds.
Here are most of the Atlanta funds that invest in seed and Series A startups:
- Atlanta Seed Company
- BLH Venture Partners
- BIP Capital
- Collab Capital
- Fulcrum Equity Partners
- Johnson Venture Partners
- Kinetic Ventures
- Knoll Ventures
- Mosley Ventures
- Noro-Moseley Partners
- Overline
- TechOperators Venture Capital
- TechSquare Labs
- Tech Square Ventures
- TTV Capital
- Valor Ventures
- Vocap Partners
Atlanta’s startup community is brimming with seed and early stage capital. Now, it’s time to start more companies.

Hi David, please also don’t forget Johnson Venture Partners (JVP), which recently relocated its headquarters to Atlanta. JVP is a micro VC fund focused on pre-seed, seed, and Series A investments. Very exciting times here in Atlanta and across the southeast. Best regards, Bob Cramer, Venture Partner, Johnson Venture Partners
Good call. I just added JVP.
Great post David. Atlanta Seed company also invests in this target. Jamie Hamilton is part-way through raising a fund.
Good call. I just added Atlanta Seed.
