Southeast Investor Conference Aims to Boost Early-Stage Investing in the Region

The Southeast Investor Conference, taking place on July 29-30 at Georgia Tech, is designed to bring together investors, fund managers, and innovation leaders to explore the complexities of early-stage investing. Barry Etra, President of Keiretsu Forum Atlanta, emphasizes the event's goal to educate and cultivate more investors in a region where local investment activity has been limited.

Key topics at the conference will include the challenges of exits in early-stage investing, with speakers and panels dedicated to uncovering solutions. Additionally, the event seeks to foster innovation and entrepreneurship by highlighting local companies and facilitating networking opportunities among accredited investors.

Attendees can look forward to sessions such as an Angel Capital Association Workshop and a Shark Tank-style presentation for local businesses, offering practical strategies to improve their investment portfolios. The organizers envision the conference becoming an annual gathering to persistently support and grow the Southeast's investment ecosystem.
