The Venture Network at Georgia Tech
Where Georgia Tech ideas find their people.
The Venture Network connects founders, operators, programs, and investors across Georgia Tech and Atlanta. Form a stronger team, find the right support, and show the progress that moves an idea forward.
Free for Georgia Tech students. A gatech.edu address is all it takes to get in. Everyone else joins with an invite from a member, or by bringing their organization. Run a club, program, or accelerator? Bring your organization
The missing layer
Georgia Tech has the ingredients of a great venture ecosystem. They sit disconnected early in the process.
01
Ideas stay isolated
Breakthrough ideas across engineering, computing, the sciences, and business stay inside labs, classes, and departments.
02
Teams stay incomplete
Technical founders lack business partners. Operator-minded students struggle to find strong technical co-founders.
03
Nothing connects builders early
Strong programs like Create-X exist downstream. No student-driven network connects builders early enough to form ventures.
The Venture Network is the connective layer that brings builders together earlier, so ideas move from concept to venture.
The product
One shared layer for the whole venture journey.
Georgia Tech already has many of the ingredients required to build important companies. The platform connects them earlier and makes the ecosystem legible to the people trying to use it. It helps a person answer four practical questions.
Who should I build with?
Find co-founders and operators across disciplines by role, skills, school, and what they are looking for. Request an intro and take it from there.
Which program, event, mentor, or investor is relevant now?
A directory of Georgia Tech and Atlanta programs, clubs, accelerators, venture firms, and demo days, plus an event feed tied to your stage.
Which ventures need what I can contribute?
Ventures post specific asks. Operators say what they can do and how much time they can give. The Network matches the two.
Which teams are making credible progress?
Opt-in progress updates and verified milestones, with the source shown. Momentum signals help people find teams, and the judgment stays with whoever is reading.
Who it is for
Four kinds of people, one network.
Founders
Find co-founders, operators, feedback, programs, mentors, and relevant funding paths without searching across disconnected networks.
Operators and builders
Discover ventures that need product, engineering, design, go-to-market, analytics, or operations. Say what you can contribute and how much time you have.
Programs and partners
Publish opportunities, reach the right teams, and see where founders get stuck. Accelerators, clubs, labs, and events become easier to find and use.
Investors and mentors
Discover teams that opted into visibility, follow verified milestones and current needs, and make timely introductions.
How it works
A loop that gets more useful every time someone uses it.
Use it in the browser, from the terminal with the vn command line, or through an MCP client. Same network, same permissions, whichever way you work.
