David interviews Allyson Eman, the CEO of Venture Atlanta, which began 17 years ago with one mission: to connect companies to capital. Launched in 2007 with a couple hundred attendees and 20 investment funds, Venture Atlanta now welcomes more than 1,300 annual attendees and over 350 investment funds. The conference’s networking and events have led to $7.5 billion in fundings raised and over $17 billion in successful exits including Kabbage, Cloud Sherpas, Roadie, ParkMobile, SalesLoft, and many more. Today, VentureAtlanta has evolved to encompass the connections, resources, partnerships, and community forged beyond the annual conference in support of the Southeast’s most promising tech companies.
