suites investor breakfast series
Kicking off March 30th
The Suites is excited to be partnering with media publication Hypepotamus and prominent investor groups, including Atlanta Tech Angels, the Keiretsu Forum and 100 Black Angels & Allies to launch a monthly investor breakfast series in Atlanta, GA.
The goal of this series is two-fold: nurture the investment ecosystem in Atlanta through a focused networking event, and to offer businesses seeking capital the rare opportunity to present in a room full of accredited investors.
At each breakfast, investors will have an opportunity to briefly introduce themselves, after which 3 - 5 individuals will present their deals for the guests in attendance to evaluate and provide feedback.
Following the presentations, investment materials will be confidentially shared electronically with those in attendance who express interest in learning more.
