CapVenture is a training program that is put on by ATDC and TAG that is in its third year. The purpose of the program is to prepare companies seeking their first round of institutional funding to go out and get it.  The programming takes place for six Tuesday evenings beginning on August 17. The final night, September 21, is pitch night.  The top company that emerges from CapVenture, as voted on by the audience (a crowd of about 100 investors and tech leaders) during the final presentations, will be offered a slot to present at Venture Atlanta.

The cost to participate, yes it costs money, starts at $174.  Here are the details.  Early registration closes on July 9 so if you are interested in participating it is time to get your application rolling.   Final registrations are due August 6, if you wait until then it will cost you a bit more to play.
