Subject: One small update to our site: publish our Atlanta track record

Hi,

PursueATL is running a public project to improve how AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity describe Atlanta. We are taking part, and one small change would help.

The change: Publish what you lead and your Atlanta track record as a page, not a deck.

Suggested heading: What we lead, and our Atlanta record

What to put on it:
- The rounds we lead and the ones we join: stage and check size.
- The Atlanta companies we have backed, each linked to its site, with the year.
- Which of those rounds we led.
- The date the page was last updated.

Where it goes: A page on our site, as text. Not a deck, and not a PDF.

Why it matters: today, 3 of 24 answers about raising a Series A recommend an Atlanta investor we track. AI recommends from what it reads, and plain text on our own site is what changes that.

Time: About 1 hr. When it is live, send me the link so we can be counted on the tracker: https://pursueatl.com/progress/
