WHAT THE Funding?!
WHAT THE Funding?! - A Tech Square ATL Happy Hour Event
Tired of the same old startup funding talks? So are we. Get ready to break through the noise at this in-person happy hour that dares to tell it like it is. At WTF, we’re pulling back the curtain on what fundraising really looks like these days. Spoiler alert: it’s not all VC pitches and term sheets.
Join us with Tech AF for an unfiltered panel with founders who’ve walked every path—traditional, non-traditional, and those who’ve harnessed the power of EZInnovation’s unique equity model to build serious traction. You’ll leave with the clarity (and sass) to tackle your own funding strategy, whether you’re bootstrapping or gunning for that million-dollar check.
Our Rock-Star Panelists:
Kristin Slink - Tech AF: A serial entrepreneur who’s raised $55M and successfully exited two companies. She’s seen it all, done it all, and isn’t afraid to spill the tea on what really goes down in the world of startup funding.
Erica Tuggle - Cookconnect: Just snagged $1M the traditional way. Techstars alumni who’s been there, done that.
Jenn Graham - Inclusivv: Recently secured Invest Atlanta funding and a line of credit after reaching profitability, proving there’s more than one way to scale.
Riean Knight - Honey to Cocoa: Founder & CEO of a Techstars portfolio company, Riean is a former Square maven turned beauty and style innovator, blending tech, customer success, and aesthetics to revolutionize how we see beauty and business.
Why Attend? Because you're tired of the BS around startup funding. It's time to get real, get empowered, and finally create a funding plan that actually works. All founders, dreamers, and doers are welcome. Grab a drink, bring your questions, and let’s turn those WTF moments into actionable plans.
Event Details: September 24 from 5-7pm, at Tech Square ATL
Let’s get you funded—without the fluff. 🥂
