The 6th edition of Startup Runway Showcase is an inspiring room of inclusive entrepreneurs, advisors, and investors.

• Meet and mingle with top investors.
  Quality investor judges at Startup Runway have featured active early-stage firms like ValorVC, Bull City Venture Partners, Noro Moseley, Assurant VC, Wolverine Angels, Seraph, Georgia Research Alliance, Comcast Ventures Catalyst Fund, Jumpstart Foundry, Endeavor ATL, and Moseley Ventures.
• Meet investors and get your investment questions answered during our live Investor Q&A.
• Cheer exciting first public pitches from the Startup Runway Finalists, who are top women and minority entrepreneurs competitively selected from hundreds of applications.

In the last 24 months, our Finalists have raised over $15 million. With that money, they’ve created dozens of tech jobs in the Southeast. Come join the excitement and meet these game changers–and the people who fund them– in person.

Together we’re turning the funding gap into an onramp in Atlanta.

Startups can apply TODAY to be on stage. Application close April 10th, 2019. Check out startuprunway.co

No one will debate the fact – that for many – securing, sustaining, and scaling a steady stream of revenue for our companies’ is getting harder and harder.

There are many reasons why. 

There is a seismic shift that’s already happening in our market(s) – where C-level executives are placing greater value on those organizations that are problem solvers (“fixers”) vs. those companies who are only trying to convince them to buy what they have or tell them what to do (“vendors”).

And yet – we have built our businesses “Product-First” vs. “Problem-First.”  Or a different way to say this – as executives – we sell based on what we do – we buy based on what we need.
