Small, specific, and drafted for this team. Each one says who would do it, how long it takes, why it helps, and what to paste. None of it is required.

01. Point the founders Zane Venture Fund can't take to Collab Capital and ATDC

Program or fund lead · 10 min

  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 Collab Capital know you did it. The habit works best in both directions.

02. Make the page the engines read say exactly who Zane Venture Fund is for

Program lead for the facts, whoever edits the website to publish · 45 min

  1. Open https://www.zane.vc/. AI cites it more than any other page on your site.
  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. Keep it as text on the page, not inside an image, a PDF or a slide deck, so the engines can read it.

Why it helps. The engines choose between Atlanta organizations on eligibility. One page with every program's and fund's terms side by side gives them one source to get right.

The part every investors organization plays

  1. Publish what you lead and your Atlanta track record as a page, not a deck.
  2. Put your check size and stage on your site, so AI stops telling founders to wait.
  3. Name your Atlanta payments and fintech companies on one page, so AI can see the sector is funded here.
