Multi-day conference – open to all accredited investors, entrepreneurs and faculty – to feature more than 250 angel investors, showcase 12 innovative growth stage companies, premier keynotes and an educational track
ATLANTA – Mercer will host the Keiretsu Forum’s 10th annual Investor Capital Expo Nov. 16-18 on the University’s Cecil B. Day Graduate and Professional Campus in Atlanta.
Keiretsu Forum is a worldwide network of capital, resources and deal flow with 55 chapters on four continents. Members invest in high-quality, diverse investment opportunities.
Keiretsu Forum is the most active angel group across the U.S, as reported by the Angel Resource Institute’s most recent 2021 HALO Report. Additionally, last year marked the most capital ever invested in Seed and Series A deals, representing a 29% year-over-year increase.
The Keiretsu Forum Atlanta Chapter is just seven years old yet on a tremendous growth trajectory. As noted in the HALO Report, Keiretsu Forum South-East is the second largest in total company funding, growing steadily yearly, which was a primary reason for bringing an investor expo of this size and caliber to the region.
“The Investor Capital Expo is the premier gathering of the angel capital community and was created to foster collaboration among angel groups, family offices, venture capitalists and independent investors active in early-stage opportunities. It also provides a platform to showcase the best of the companies and leadership teams that are actively funding,” said Howard Lubert, area president of Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic and South-East.
Accredited investors, entrepreneurs and faculty interested in attending are invited to register online for a full conference pass. Discount codes are available on the registration page.
Registration is open until Nov. 9.
