The Southeast boasts the highest venture capital backed return of any region in the US. The SPEC is the premier source for entrepreneurs to connect with investment capital in the southeast region.   There is still capital available for investment in qualified companies and is ready to come off of the sidelines. 

This event is unique because of its target to bring together early stage companies and capital sources.  The market for angel investors and early stage venture capital is on the rebound and we are excited to take the forefront in bringing these communities together to create an environment where "Innovative Companies Connect with Capital, Investors, and Resources".  This compliments the other venture events and the NBAI Private Equity Investor Forum scheduled in the Atlanta, because it blends a tradeshow environment with deal flow presentations and entrepreneur & investor education.
