Who Are the Investors That Will Attend #3686South?

- Startup Southerner -

36|86, the entrepreneurship and technology conference powered by Launch Tennessee, is just days aways from June 4-7 in Nashville, and one of the key reasons for startups to attend is the number of investors that will be in attendance for the four days of programs, food and networking. In fact, the 36|86 website states that there will be 180 investors in the crowds. (If you haven’t bought your tickets, use ‘STARTUPSOUTHERNER3686’ and get 25% off your ticket to the event.)

The conference site currently lists around 80 VC firms’ logos as attendees, and we want go into a little more detail about these firms. An understanding of what sectors a venture capitalist invests in should help any startup looking for capital, and we hope this list will help startup founders maximize their time at 36|86.  This list is a work in progress, so check back for more information.
