The Southeast Investor Conference, scheduled for July 29-30 at Georgia Tech, represents a pivotal gathering for early-stage investors, fund managers, and innovation leaders. This event, a collaboration between Keiretsu Forum South-East, Georgia Tech’s Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), and the Angel Capital Association (ACA), is designed to navigate the complexities of the current investment landscape.
Barry Etra, President of Keiretsu Forum Atlanta, highlights the conference’s focus on educating and developing more investors in a region that has seen a significant lack of local investment opportunities. The event aims to bring together 75-100 investors for a day and a half of knowledge sharing and presentations from later-stage companies, addressing the critical issue of exits in the investment cycle.
The conference will tackle the most pressing challenges faced by early-stage investors in 2025, including the dramatic drop-off in exits and investments. With sessions and panels dedicated to these issues, the event seeks to provide actionable strategies and tools for investors. Notably, an Angel Capital Association Workshop will offer insights into angel portfolio strategies aimed at maximizing returns and minimizing losses.
Supporting innovation and entrepreneurship in the Southeast, the conference will showcase local companies and provide a platform for networking among like-minded investors. The long-term goal is to establish this as an annual event, fostering a stronger investment community in the region. Accredited investors can attend the conference for free, with more information available at https://www.southeastinvestorconference.com.
