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.

We've hosted 17 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, Dr. Scofflaw's at The Works and Wild Heaven Beer & Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q at Toco Hills. The next one is at Wild Heaven Beer & Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q at Toco Hills on 21 July 2026 — tickets are on Luma and Eventbrite. Come once and the Slack invite follows.
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 →
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.
Yes — Startup Valley runs recurring startup pitch nights in Atlanta. The next one is on TUE 21 July 2026 at Wild Heaven Beer & Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q at Toco Hills. Every night combines live startup pitches with open tech networking in one evening.
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.
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.
Recent Atlanta nights ran at Cypress Street Pint & Plate, Dr. Scofflaw's at The Works 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.
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.
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.
Every Atlanta night is announced to the community first — and the biweekly drop carries the best of what pitched.
