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:
- BLH Venture Partners
- BIP Capital
- Collab Capital
- Fulcrum Equity 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.
