WHERE CREATIVITY MEETS CAPITAL
The premier networking group connecting Entrepreneurs and Investors
The Ritz Group is non-profit celebrating it's 40th Anniversary connecting Entrepreneurs to Investors in the greater Atlanta Community. We do this for our members with leading-edge Technology, Networking Events, plus Training tailored for Angels and early-stage Entrepreneurs.
OUR MISSION
We have seen in the last 25 years our Entrepreneur Ecosystem evolve private equity capital placement into very well defined categories for pre-seed, seed, series A, B & C Rounds, along with new regulations and ways to solicit Capital from Investors. We recognize creating and managing a shareholder company from birth to exit requires multiple capitalization rounds - each with its own criteria. The Ritz Group is organized to help Angels and Entrepreneurs navigate these waters by bringing together the resources dedicated to your success.
OUR CAUSE
The Ritz Group is dedicated to supporting three (3) Programs in 2024-2025 that help Georgia's Entrepreneurs become digitally connected state-wide, promote Women Entrepreneurs and help reduce the 22/day Veteran suicide rate. Ritz Group volunteers and technology partners are engaged to make a difference and have been for multiple years. Their success is dependent on funding from DONATIONS and SPONSORSHIPS. (learn more)
