Greenzie Selected as a Venture Atlanta 2020 Showcase Company

Over $4.5 billion in funding awarded to date; leading tech investment conference expands national footprint with virtual format for its 14th annual event

ATLANTA – September 24, 2020 – Greenzie announced today that it has been chosen out of a record-breaking 400 applicants as one of the top technology companies in the Southeast to present at Venture Atlanta 2020. Now in its 14th year, the annual conference to be held October 21-22, pivoted to a fully virtual format, Venture Atlanta Live Online. One of the nation’s best venture capital conferences continues to showcase innovators from the US’ hottest tech markets and boosts its largest number of selected companies and represented investor funds to date. Even in light of COVID-19, Venture Atlanta continues to fuel capital and growth, serving the needs of the region’s vibrant tech community.

“We’re thrilled to be selected as a showcase company for Venture Atlanta 2020,” said CEO Charles Brian Quinn. “In the midst of a pandemic, we’re excited about the opportunity to show people the value we can bring to our customers, it’s the future of landscaping.”

The U.S. green industry has a massive labor shortage. The $93B landscaping industry (1 million people in 513,305 businesses) maintains the largest crop (3x larger than corn). Greenzie is a software and robotics company based in Atlanta with a focus on working closely with landscape contractors. They develop autonomous solutions that allow their customers to overcome the significant labor challenges in the landscape maintenance industry. 

“Venture Atlanta has become the authority for recognizing technology innovation across the Southeast and beyond, connecting the best and brightest innovators with top-tier, national investors and other leaders in our technology ecosystem that helps drive success and results with over $4.5 billion in funding awarded to date,” said Venture Atlanta CEO Allyson Eman . “This year, we’ve pivoted to a digital format to best serve the needs of our vibrant tech community and are thrilled to be showcasing our largest line up of companies ever. These companies reflect our incredible pool of talented people, inspiring innovation, and continued opportunities for growth within the technology community.”

Attendees will be able to connect with others at the conference, set up one-on-one meetings, stroll the virtual show floor, watch pitches in real-time, and use features like live chat, and audience polling. Atlanta-based independent investment management firm, Invesco, is this year’s premier sponsor, with Cherry Bekaert, Nelson Mullins and Truist as additional headline sponsors.
