Atlanta Ventures Newsletter

Just like that, the first month of 2022 has come to a close. It’s been a great productive start to the year and we can’t wait to keep it going. There’s been some incredible announcements within the Atlanta startup ecosystem including Salesloft's recent massive $2.3B valuation. In the month of January we hosted an in-person event, recorded a podcast, and crafted some informative blogs.
