Point the founders Knoll Ventures can't take to Overline and Atlanta Ventures

Move 1 of 3 for Knoll Ventures' team. Who: Program or fund lead. Time: 10 min.

What to do

  1. Add the line below wherever a founder finds out they don't fit: your eligibility section, FAQ or application page.
  2. When PursueATL publishes the Atlanta programs and funds comparison, link to it from the same line.
  3. Let Overline know you did it. The habit works best in both directions.

<p>Not the right fit for Knoll Ventures? <a href="https://overline.vc/pitch">Overline</a> (founding teams building in Atlanta and across the Southeast, inception through seed, any industry) and <a href="https://www.atlantaventures.com/capital/#contact">Atlanta Ventures</a> (early-stage founders with B2B recurring revenue and more than 10 unaffiliated paying customers, at seed and Series A; the studio recruits operators and domain experts to lead new companies) may be a better match. <a href="https://pursueatl.com/roles/">See every Atlanta program and fund, side by side</a>.</p>

Why it helps

In the answers where the engines turned founders away from Knoll Ventures for fit, they sent them to Overline and Atlanta Ventures instead. A founder who hears no from one Atlanta door should land at another Atlanta door, not another city.

This is the habit that makes Atlanta feel like one ecosystem to the engines, and to founders.

Who the engines pick instead

Overline, Atlanta Ventures

The questions this is for

  • Which Atlanta funds write pre-seed checks under $500k?
  • Which Atlanta investors actually take cold inbound from founders they have never met?
  • Are there Atlanta funds that will back a pre-product founder on the strength of the team?
  • Atlanta angel groups that fund pre-revenue software companies
  • Who actually leads seed rounds for Atlanta software startups?
