Monday, June 9 – Batter Up! Atlanta

As a founder, going through the fundraising process can be incredibly frustrating. It takes an amazing amount of time and effort to convince an investor to agree to talk to you. And then, once you pitch your company, sometimes the investor never gets back to you. Or if they do get back to you, oftentimes their rejection doesn’t explain WHY they’re not interested. All this can leave an entrepreneur feeling frustrated, dejected, and unsure of what can be done to improve in the future. We think this stinks. That’s why, on June 9th, we’re hosting a live pitch event for founders. And it’s FREE to attend.
