Entrepreneurs
Atlanta Technology Angels Investment Criteria
Types of Companies
We invest in technology-oriented businesses with the potential to scale rapidly and with capital efficiency.
Geography
We work with companies based in the Southeast, especially in the greater Atlanta area.
Company Stage
Minimum: Prototype complete or near-complete.
Better: Beta stage with pilots or paid pilots.
Best: Fully-developed product with initial revenue and demonstrated customer interest.
Management Team
We’re looking for talented management teams that demonstrate vision, focus, and the ability to execute. Prior CEO and domain experience are big pluses.
Fundraising Round
We do 6-8 deals per year. We invest between $100k-$300k in deals. This means:
- We lead rounds of $300k – $750k. Typically a convertible note with 6% interest, 20% discount, and a valuation cap between $2M – $6M.
- We participate in a variety of “angel deals” if you already have a lead investor and defined terms.
- We can also fill out priced rounds of various sizes and security types if you have a lead investor and 75% of the target round committed.
Industries
We’re interested in companies that leverage technology to create disruption. For medical device and biotech companies, we prefer products and services with a clear regulatory path. We generally do not invest in pharmaceuticals.
