Description


TAG Invest Connect: Meet, Pitch, & Partner

📅 October 22, 2026 | 4th Annual Signature Event

🕐 1:00–6:00 PM (Includes Networking Reception)

Join us for TAG Invest Connect: Meet, Pitch, & Partner, a dynamic, one-day event in which Georgia's technology entrepreneurs connect with corporate procurement representatives, investors, and industry leaders in an unparalleled opportunity to learn, network, and compete.

This high-impact event brings together some of the region’s most promising Seed to Series A tech businesses with top-tier investors and corporate procurement leaders in a curated environment where ideas meet capital and partnerships are formed. TAG Invest Connect is designed to accelerate innovation, expand access to capital, and create meaningful pathways to business growth.

At the center of the event is the Pitch for Capital Competition, a “Shark Tank”-style showcase where six selected founders present their companies to leading investors while competing for funding, visibility, and strategic support.

Alongside the competition, attendees will gain direct insight into investment and enterprise engagement through the Investor & Procurement Pathways Panels. Investors and corporate leaders will share what they look for when evaluating emerging companies, including investment considerations, corporate purchasing priorities, vendor expectations, procurement requirements, and opportunities for startups to successfully enter and navigate corporate supply chains.

TAG Invest Connect is intentionally designed to deliver measurable outcomes, including:

•  Access to Capital: Opportunities to engage with investors and compete in the live Pitch for Capital Competition

•  First Prize: $10,000

•  Second Prize: $5,000

•  Customer Acquisition Pathways: Access to customers through direct interaction with corporate procurment and innovation leaders

•  High-Value Connections: Meaningful networking opportunities across Georgia’s technology and innovation ecosystem

•  Business Growth: Access to resources that support long-term growth, with past participants reporting increased investment and partnership opportunities

The experience concludes with a curated Networking Reception, from 5:00-6:00 PM, designed to foster meaningful conversations and long-term relationships among founders, investors, and industry leaders, strengthening Georgia’s position as a leading hub for technology innovation.

More than an event, TAG Invest Connect: Meet, Pitch, & Partner is a strategic platform that removes barriers, builds access, and equips entrepreneurs from seed to growth stage with the relationships, resources, and visibility needed to scale.
