Quote, attributable to Karen Rands, SPEC Director

“The Southeast is on the rebound for the early stage capital market.   Many venture events target later stage companies leaving the gap to funding for those early stage companies.  The Southeast Private Equity Event is unique because it brings together both investors and entrepreneurs for educational break out sessions, Expo to maximize the connect time with investors and entrepreneurs and the Innovative Company Showcase for select companies to pitch to the companies.   With the support of the local community we hope to continue this event every year in Atlanta.”
