Build Relationships that Matter

The Ritz Group is a 33 year old networking organization where "Creativity meets Capital." We are a non-profit (501-c-3). We are dedicated to the "cause" of promoting successful entrepreneur ventures in Georgia. We fund our programs through your membership and sponsorship.

The Ritz Group is currently serving over 3,600 subscribers who are engaged in the process of funding early-stage entrepreneurs raising seed and Series A private equity funding. Each year we produce over 20 events for our members.

We are leaders in addressing the modern day challenge to create and manage a private equity shareholder-based company. We are the developers of the Capital Drill that has created the new Capital Academy and Capital Service offerings. Our belief is that...."If we can create more Angels - we can fund more companies."

We are best known for our quarterly networking events featuring Shark Attack. We recognize Angels are a critical resource and we conduct monthly Angel Club Luncheons to discuss "Deal Flow" at the Peachtree Club in Midtown and at the Georgian Club in Cobb County.
