Startup pitch nights &
tech networking in Atlanta.
Founders pitching, investors listening, operators connecting — a curated room, hosted by someone who knows the Atlanta scene. Some nights are ticketed, some are free. Anyone can attend.
THU 27 AUG — be in the room.
Founders pitch, the room does the rest.
We've hosted 18 nights in Atlanta, and the shape of them hasn't changed: founders pitch on stage, then the floor opens and the room does the rest. The Atlanta series has been running since October 2024, usually a Wednesday night, recent rooms include Cypress Street Pint & Plate, Space323 and Wild Heaven Beer & Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q at Toco Hills. The next one is at Space323 on 27 August 2026 — tickets are on Luma and Eventbrite. Come once and the Slack invite follows.
The startup pitch night in Atlanta
Founders take the stage for short, honest pitches — a few minutes each, then direct Q&A from the investors and operators in the room. It's a working session, not a demo-day performance: the point is candid feedback and the conversations that start the moment the mic goes down. Want to pitch? Here's how it works →
Tech networking, before and after
The pitches are the spine of the evening; the networking is the rest of the body. Registration opens with drinks and introductions, and after the pitch session the floor stays open — founders, investors, VCs, engineers and operators from the Atlanta tech and business scene, all in one room. Come with one sentence about what you're building or looking for.

Atlanta, asked & answered.
Is there a startup pitch night in Atlanta?
Yes — Startup Valley runs recurring startup pitch nights in Atlanta. The next one is on THU 27 August 2026 at Space323. Every night combines live startup pitches with open tech networking in one evening.
What startup events does Startup Valley run in Atlanta?
One recurring series of startup events in Atlanta: evening pitch nights where founders pitch live with investor Q&A, wrapped in open networking — part tech mixer, part demo night. The next Atlanta event is on THU 27 August 2026.
Is this a business networking event or a startup pitch night?
Both, deliberately: the live pitches give the business networking a spine. Founders, investors and operators come for the Atlanta pitch session and stay for the open networking — so conversations start from something real instead of small talk.
How do I pitch my startup at a Atlanta event?
Get the "Pitch at the event" ticket for an upcoming Atlanta night and tell us about your startup through the pitch application form. Pitch slots are limited to keep the session focused, so earlier is better.
Who attends Startup Valley events in Atlanta?
Founders and startup teams, investors (VCs and angels), engineers, and operators from the Atlanta tech scene. Investors join by approval, so pitching founders always have the right people in the room.
Where in Atlanta do the events happen?
Recent Atlanta nights ran at Cypress Street Pint & Plate, Space323 and Wild Heaven Beer & Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q at Toco Hills — bars, coworking spaces and event venues chosen for a room you can actually talk in. The exact venue and address are on each event's page and ticket link.
How much do tickets cost?
Early-bird tickets are the cheapest and go first; standard admission follows, and prices step up as the night approaches. Pitching startups purchase a dedicated pitch ticket. Exact prices are on each event page.
What is the format of the night?
Registration and networking first, then a host welcome, a focused startup pitch session with investor Q&A, and open networking until the venue winds down — about three hours end to end.
Don't miss the next one.
Every Atlanta night is announced to the community first — and the biweekly drop carries the best of what pitched.
