First Pitch Friday: University Edition

​Attend and support your peers!

​First Pitch Friday is a monthly event under the Atlanta Collegiate Entrepreneurship Syndicate (ACES), hosted in collaboration with Dr. Noze Best, Startup Atlanta, Venture Atlanta, TiE University, The College Startup Alliance, and The Hatchery, Emory Center for Innovation. This initiative provides student founders with limited access to resources with live pitch experience and on-the-spot feedback from leading venture capital investors across the Southeast. Lunch will be provided for the student pitchers and the VC panelists.

​

​Pitches will take place on Feb. 27, 2025 from noon-2pm at Georgia State University's Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute (ENI). This is an incredible opportunity for student founders and is completely free to participate. 

​First Pitch Friday began in 2018 by entrepreneur and venture investor, Christy Brown. Christy's desire was to provide women a foundation and safe space to pitch their companies for venture funding. First Pitch Friday has enjoyed a partnership with Venture Atlanta, led by CEO, Allyson Eman since 2020. First Pitch Friday has become an incredible funnel for leading founders to be selected to present at Venture Atlanta. Venture Atlanta is held each fall and is the largest venture capital conference on the East Coast connecting founders and funders.
