Atlanta Startup Convos: September Meetup

On September 21, 2022, 40+ entrepreneurs joined us on Zoom for an insightful morning event! The first Atlanta Startup Convos of fall was not one to miss.

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 are you most excited about for fall.” 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 was one for the books: Karen Houghton, CEO and Founder of Infinite Giving; Sam Eniojukan, CTO of VoiceWorx; Andy Blechman, Co-Founder of Bottle.

Infinite Giving

The investing experience for nonprofits is difficult. Since nonprofits must manage their revenue streams, they often outsource investments — leading to a lack of specification, increased costs, and more. Infinite Giving is a Registered Investment Advisor that helps nonprofits hedge against inflation, lower endowment fees, and grow asset giving in one all-inclusive platform.

“Infinite Giving is providing democratized access to expert investing with reduced fees.”— Karen Houghton, Founder and CEO of Infinite Giving

VoiceWorx

VoiceWorx lets companies create virtual assistants through no-code blueprints. It has been a challenge for companies to design their own digital assistants with their own persona and company intelligence to answer the questions needed. VoiceWorx makes customer support agents accessible without the need for developers.

“With this, customer support agents have become accessible without the need for developers.”— Sam Eniojukan, CTO of VoiceWorx

Bottle

Bottle is the ecommerce platform for local brands. The app-based platform takes away the difficulty of cross-platform business models via distribution assistance — giving local brands a single platform to sell across multiple channels, interact with customers, offer memberships, bulk discounts, and pre-ordering. Bottle tackles one of the biggest problems local brands face: driving repeat purchases.

“It becomes a web of complexity. We simplify that web into one platform.”— Andy Blechman, Co-Founder of Bottle
