We've entered the last quarter of the year and the hot Atlanta sun is coming to an end! This October, we hosted our sixth Atlanta Startup Convos of 2021 with three fantastic founders, and here’s the highlights!
Every 6-8 weeks, Atlanta Ventures hosts an Atlanta Startup Convos Meetup. Three early stage startups shared their 7 minute story of how they started, how they are monetizing, and how they are scaling.

We kicked off the morning with some fun virtual Breakout Room networking sessions. The question to get everything going was, “Do you have a favorite Halloween costume?” If you’re in need of a bit of authentic networking, join us for the next one!
This month’s presenter lineup was stellar:
Laurl is an employee-centered SaaS for issue and resolution management. HR administrative work is time consuming and is a burden, and there’s no way to track outcomes and view successes. Laurl provides a dashboard where users can track, manage, and ultimately resolve issues in one place, while keeping stakeholders in the loop of the process. Currently Laurl is production ready and has their first 10 companies and are looking to build out more features and get more customers.
Knightley’s goal is to help Founders/CEOs to become more efficient and accomplish their growth goals. Knightley is a platform that connects investors who are looking to invest, with companies that are looking for some form of investment. It operates like a Google Drive and allows customers to compile all their necessary documents in one spot and can disable or enable views of certain documents based on the investor. Another feature of Knightley is that they provide blank templates to give Founders a starting point for needed investment documents/presentations.
