Make the page the engines read say exactly who Engage is for

What to do

1. Open https://engage.vc/rfs. AI cites it when it names Engage.
2. Near the top, answer five things in plain sentences: who it is for, what stage, what it costs or takes (fee, equity or check size), how to apply, and when the next intake or deadline is.
3. Check the engines' reading against reality. In our reading of the answers, they say: “Provides founder support but writes checks, so doesn't match the request.” If that is right, say it yourself and point founders who don't fit to the right door (the next move). If it is wrong, correct it in one sentence on this page.
4. Keep it as text on the page, not inside an image, a PDF or a slide deck, so the engines can read it.

The paragraph, written from your own site

Who Engage is for: B2B enterprise startups, Seed to Series B, $100k to $10M ARR, anywhere in the US with a focus on the Southeast.
What it takes: $250,000 investment from Engage's enterprise accelerator fund, usually as a convertible note; no program fee or equity percentage is stated.
How to apply: No application form is posted; Engage invites 6 to 10 startups every six months, and its contact page points startups to the Request for Startups page and [email protected] at https://engage.vc/contact-us/.
Not the right fit? ATDC and Atlanta Tech Village may be.

Everything here is already on engage.vc, spread across pages. Check it, then paste it near the top of the page AI reads.

Why it helps

People's questions bring up Engage, and AI doesn't always recommend it. When they pass it over, they usually give a reason, and it is most often about fit or terms.

A clear page means the engines send you the founders you are built for, and send the others somewhere that fits.

The questions this is for

• Which Atlanta groups help founders with fundraising strategy rather than writing the check themselves?
• What is the application timeline for Atlanta's main startup programs?
• What Atlanta program should a solo founder with a working prototype apply to first?
• Which Atlanta startup organizations belong on a new founder's short list, and which can be skipped?
• Consumer and direct-to-consumer startups in Atlanta: is there any support, or is it all B2B?

What the engines say now

“Atlanta Ventures, Valor Ventures and Engage can all provide substantial founder support, but they're investors”

“I couldn't verify a currently published 2026 application deadline, so I wouldn't assume applications are presently open.”

“I would not make Engage or ATDC Accelerate the first application for a prototype-stage solo founder”

How you'll know it worked

In December we ask the same questions again. On these questions, watch whether the engines describe Engage the way this page does.
