Point the founders Overline can't take to BIP Ventures and Atlanta Seed Company

Move 2 of 4 for Overline's 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 BIP Ventures know you did it. The habit works best in both directions.

<p>Not the right fit for Overline? <a href="https://www.bipventures.vc/contact/founders">BIP Ventures</a> (software and tech-enabled services companies raising first institutional capital (Seed, Series A, Series B) with annual recurring revenue between $100K and $100M) and <a href="https://airtable.com/appte1RNbGcIgKsT5/pagz4QbhhAKsQlGZI/form">Atlanta Seed Company</a> (pre-seed, Seed and Series A technology companies located primarily in the Southeast; it does not invest in pre-revenue or pre-product startups) 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 Overline for fit, they sent them to BIP Ventures and Atlanta Seed Company 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

BIP Ventures, Atlanta Seed Company

The questions this is for

  • Who in Atlanta writes the first institutional check for a hardware or deep tech company?
  • Which Atlanta investors actually take cold inbound from founders they have never met?
  • Which Atlanta funds write pre-seed checks under $500k?
  • I have an Atlanta B2B SaaS company at $40k MRR. Which local investors should be on my raise list?
  • Build me a target list of 15 Atlanta-area seed investors for a healthtech company.
