Atlanta Startup Convos : January Meetup

On January 13th, 2021, 40 energetic entrepreneurs joined us on Zoom for the first Atlanta Startup Meetup of 2021. While 2020 threw everyone for a loop, we wanted to kick off the new year with a touch of fun and some amazing founder presentations.

Every 6-8 weeks, Atlanta Ventures hosts an Atlanta Startup Convos Meetup. Three early stage startups shared their 7 minute story of how they started, how they are monetizing, and how they are scaling.

We kicked off the morning with a good ol’ fashioned Zoom Breakout Room networking session. Attendees discussed “What’s your professional New Year’s resolution?” It was a quick opportunity to connect with new faces and reconnect with familiar ones before we dove into the Startup Convos.

This month’s presenter lineup: Carly Simenauer of Strapt Vending, Chris Cherian and Amaan Pirani of Gatherly, and Pierre-Loic Dubois of DashStylists.
