Successfully Win Government Business
Attend the free Government Contracting Class on Thursday, June 13
The University of Georgia Small Business Development Center along with the Georgia Tech Procurement Assistance Center will be hosting a free seminar on government procurement. Federal, state, and local governments spend billions of dollars each year buying products and services. Many government agencies require that a portion of their contracts be set aside for small businesses. Many small businesses, however, find it difficult to successfully win this business. This class will help you understand the procurement process so that you may market your business more successfully to this large potential customer.
DATE: Thursday, June 13
TIME: 9 - 11:30 a.m.
COST: Free

Early Stage Entrepreneurs & Investors Meetup
Event seeks to match entrepreneurs with investors
Each quarter, StartupLounge.com hosts an private networking event for early-stage entrepreneurs and investors here in the Southeast. Formerly called "CapitalLounge", the newly renamed "StartupLounge Atlanta" is attended by fast-growth entrepreneurs based in the Southeast U.S., as well as venture capital and angel investors from around the country. You can view photos of past events here.
The format is simple: cash bar, free gourmet food spread, lots of networking, several hundred vetted attendees, and no fees at the door.
The next event is scheduled for June 20 in Atlanta.
Who may attend?
- An early-stage (fast growth) entrepreneur located within the Southeastern United States who is swinging for the fences. Bootstrappers and holders of idea-napkins are welcome to apply as well!
- A later-stage entrepreneur seeking expansion capital or new network contacts (again, must be based in the S.E.)
- An accredited venture capitalist
- An accredited angel investor (as defined by the SEC: someone who earns over $200,000 a year for three years or for two years if they have a reasonable expectation of earning more than $200,000 in the current year or someone who has net worth in excess of $1 million.)
- An observer (e.g. media, professor, etc.)
- Some combination of the above (e.g. a successful entrepreneur looking to make an angel investment)
