Goodie Nation Community Dinner for Founders, Investors, Journalists, & Policy Makers Hosted by Sidney Madison Prescott #ATLTechWeek
Please only RSVP for one dinner. It throws off the guest count when people sign up for multiple dinners. This leads to no-shows, and restaurants not seating the remaining group.
Hosted by Sidney Madison Prescott
Pull up a chair for an unfiltered conversation on funding, power, and the future of tech. As part of Goodie Nation’s community dinner series for Atlanta Tech Week, we’re bringing together a curated room of tech startup founders, policy makers, journalists, venture capitalists, and angel investors to dissect the real mechanics of capital and control.
Topic: The Venture Capital Gatekeeping Crisis: Are We Building the Next Monopolies?
We love to talk about "disruption," but the ledger tells a different story. Year after year, the vast majority of VC funding flows to the same demographics, geographic hubs, and institutional networks. Meanwhile, brilliant founders building transformative solutions are routinely overlooked or over-vetted.
Over dinner, we’re skipping the PR-friendly panel answers to dive straight into the hard questions across tech, capital, media, and policy.
No pitches, no pretense, and no performance. Just Goodie Nation style: exceptional food, candid dialogue across distinct industry perspectives, and a table full of people who care about building a fairer tech ecosystem. Come ready to share your perspective and leave with sharper insights and stronger connections.
