Registration is now open for the 4th Annual TAG Invest Connect: Meet, Pitch, & Partner, taking place on Thursday, October 22, 2026, from 1:00–5:00 PM, with a networking reception immediately following. Hosted by the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG), this signature event brings together entrepreneurs, investors, corporate procurement leaders, and technology executives for an afternoon focused on helping innovative companies grow through funding, partnerships, and customer acquisition.

Designed specifically for Seed to Series A technology companies, TAG Invest Connect provides founders with direct access to the people and resources needed to scale their businesses. The centerpiece of the event is the Pitch for Capital Competition, where six selected startups will present their companies in a Shark Tank-style competition before leading investors. Competitors will vie for $10,000 in first-place funding and $5,000 for second place, while gaining valuable exposure to potential investors and strategic partners.

In addition to the pitch competition, attendees can participate in the Procurement Pathways Panel, where corporate procurement and innovation leaders will discuss purchasing priorities, vendor expectations, and opportunities for emerging technology companies to enter enterprise supply chains. Throughout the day, founders will have opportunities to network with investors, corporate decision-makers, and fellow entrepreneurs, fostering relationships that can lead to future investments, pilot projects, and long-term partnerships.

Whether you're seeking venture capital, looking to break into corporate procurement channels, or hoping to expand your professional network, TAG Invest Connect offers a unique platform to connect with Georgia's innovation ecosystem and position your company for long-term success. Entrepreneurs interested in competing in the Pitch for Capital Competition should note that applications close August 1, 2026.
