Reflecting on last week's Venture Atlanta Conference, and wow, what an amazing showcase of the Southeast tech scene! Watching startups like Linq showcase the disruptive work they're doing on the big stage was a powerful reminder of why I love what we do. The energy, the innovation, the sheer audacity of these founders... it's infectious. Key takeaways: 1. Atlanta's tech scene is on 🔥! The caliber of ideas and execution coming out of our backyard is world-class. 2. VCs and PE firms are doubling down on the Southeast. The smart money sees what we've known all along - this region is a goldmine of talent and opportunity. 3. The gap between startup ambition and marketing firepower is real. So many brilliant teams, so little bandwidth for strategic growth marketing. Chatting with founders and investors alike, a common theme emerged: the need for scalable, high-impact marketing that doesn't break the bank or require a full in-house team. It was validating to hear how our mission at Dodeka Digital - providing a world-class digital marketing team in a fractional capacity - is addressing a real pain point in the ecosystem. To all the founders, investors, and innovators I met last week: you're why we do what we do. Here's to fueling the next wave of Southeastern tech success stories! 💪

Last week, I was in Berlin for the Deep Tech Momentum conference, where I got to catch up with portfolio founders and meet some new ones. In these conversations, I noticed a tale of three cities — three distinct players we encounter in the startup world: 1. Early-stage B2B startups laser-focused on sales and scaling 2. Deep tech innovators in fields like aerospace and biotech, exploring novel business models and financing strategies 3. Large VCs deploying massive capital into hyped AI startups, often driven more by a drive to return to the irrational exuberance of the ZIRP era At Angular, we’re most comfortable in the world of early-stage startups. But we also spend time with deep tech innovators — the founders asking the most interesting and potentially rewarding questions. And as VCs, we have to pay attention to financial hype cycles to help our portfolio companies thrive. So if you’re a founder who’s caught between these different sides of the startup ecosystem, maybe we can help you figure it out. Read more about how we’re making sense of this ecosystem in the latest edition of our weekly newsletter, The Angle, linked in the comment section below.

Just wrapped up my first Startupfest, and wow, what an incredible ride! Here are some unforgettable highlights: 🚆 Startup Train: Imagine connecting with the Toronto startup ecosystem while journeying in style to Montreal. Networking on wheels – it doesn’t get better than this! 🧠 Brain date Sessions: Immersive discussions on leveraging partnerships for growth. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who shared their wisdom! I must tip my hat to James Moncarz, a maestro in helping SaaS companies drive revenue through partners & channels. We met at the conference, and he introduced me to the term "administrative modules." This single insight made my pitch for SDaaP – which helps build tech startups faster by providing commonly used modules like Authentication, Subscription, AI Chatbot, and more – as clear as crystal and incredibly effective for its entire lifecycle. Thank you, James, for your invaluable time and for simplifying my journey by helping articulate SDaaP to like-minded pioneers. It's a true blessing when such illuminating individuals cross your path early on. As they say, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," and with people like James, every step feels more purposeful and rewarding. #Startupfest #Networking #Gratitude #Growth
