Point the founders Valor Ventures can't take to Atlanta Technology Angels and Overline

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 Atlanta Technology Angels know you did it. The habit works best in both directions.

Why it helps

In the answers where the engines turned founders away from Valor Ventures for fit, they sent them to Atlanta Technology Angels and Overline 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

Atlanta Technology Angels, Overline

The questions this is for

• Atlanta angel groups that fund pre-revenue software companies
• Who in Atlanta writes the first institutional check for a hardware or deep tech company?
• Which Atlanta groups help founders with fundraising strategy rather than writing the check themselves?
• Are there Atlanta funds that will back a pre-product founder on the strength of the team?
• Which Atlanta funds write pre-seed checks under $500k?
