Knox Massey was kind enough to invite me down to last night’s meeting of the Atlanta Technology Angels. While I know many of the members individually, this was the first time I had actually attended one of their monthly meetings. In keeping with the confidential setting of the meeting, I don’t want to reveal anything …
Sorry this post is a day late – I’ve been deluged with emails and other stuff. We just published a nice wrapup and photo gallery of the recent Capital Connections event. Enjoy! If you weren’t able to attend, we hope you can make the next one. We certainly had a blast putting it together, and …

The first StartupLounge.com Capital Connections event is really shaping up! With very little promotion we’ve managed to get RSVPs from a dozen investors and over 40 entrepreneurs.

In case you haven’t heard, our good friend Jason Caplain at Southern Capitol Ventures is putting out the challenge again, this time, here in Atlanta. Jason will be here in Atlanta meeting with Entrepreneurs on May 17th. What he didn’t say in his post was that he will also be here on the 16th (the …
I’m throwing this topic “Under the Bus” on our next StartupLounge.com podcast, but I can’t sit on this for another week. Will someone please tell me why the following three events are all happening on the same day, and at the same time?
