Celebrating the angels Backing Atlanta startups

Emory's Goizueta Business School is the host school and sponsor of the Siggie Awards, Atlanta's annual celebration of the early-stage investors who quietly power the city's startup community. Each year we bring together angel investors, founders, and the partners who back them to honor the people doing the unglamorous, essential work of writing the first checks.

2026 Siggie Awards: Tuesday, November 17

5:30-8:30pm, Emory's Student Center

An evening to connect with the investors, founders, and builders shaping Atlanta's startup scene. Join us as we recognize outstanding investors and founders across four categories, with winners chosen by a panel of Atlanta startup leaders.
