ATLANTA – September 17, 2025- 

The Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) announces TAG Invest Connect: Meet, Pitch, & Partner, taking place on October 23, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM at Comcast’s Regional Headquarters in Atlanta. Now in its third year, TAG Invest Connect stands out as one of Georgia’s most unique entrepreneurship events, bringing together corporate procurement decision-makers, active investors, and high-growth technology entrepreneurs for a one-of-a-kind day of capital access and customer acquisition.

Unlike traditional pitch competitions that focus solely on funding, TAG Invest Connect bridges two critical growth pathways: investor capital and enterprise contracts. The program begins with a Corporate Procurement Brunch and Panel, offering entrepreneurs direct access to procurement leaders who share insights into supplier options, partnership opportunities, and the procurement process.

Following the panel, selected finalists at the seed-to-early stages will participate in the Pitch for Capital competition, presenting to a panel of investors a chance to win $10,000 and $5,000 cash prizes, as well as tailored mentorship. Each finalist will also be matched with an Investor Pitch Coach in advance, ensuring they are well-prepared to make the most of the stage.

“We’re excited to announce our third annual TAG Invest Connect,” said Dr. Loretta Daniels, executive director of TAG Education Collaborative. “What makes this event truly unique is that it doesn’t just stop at investment. We’re combining procurement access, pitch coaching, and investor capital opportunities in one day, giving entrepreneurs a direct line to both customers and capital. Four founders from past Invest Connect events have already received investments, and several have advanced corporate partnerships as a result of their participation.”

The day concludes with a networking session, allowing founders to continue conversations with potential partners, investors, and customers. By combining procurement access, capital opportunities, and curated networking, TAG Invest Connect positions itself as a launchpad for Seed to Series A entrepreneurs seeking both funding and market traction.

This event is part of TAG’s broader mission to advance Georgia’s technology ecosystem, supporting entrepreneurship, innovation, and workforce development across the state. For details on registration or sponsorship, visit tagedonline.org/tag-invest-connect.
