In this session of The Talent Pieces, Carlos Delcid sits down with Allyson Eman, CEO of Venture Atlanta, to discuss how the conference has grown into the largest venture capital event in the Southeast over its 17-year history. Allyson shares insights on how Venture Atlanta started to address the lack of capital for startups in the region and has since expanded to support companies across 15 states.

The session highlights the importance of finding the right venture capital partners and emphasizes that the conference is more than just about raising capital—it’s about building connections, partnerships, and a supportive ecosystem for scaling businesses. Allyson also touches on the long-term value Venture Atlanta offers and gives tips for entrepreneurs to make the most out of the event.
