Last Bottle Clothing announced today that it has been chosen as one of 34 Venture Atlanta Startup Showcase "companies to watch," a group comprised of the most exciting early-stage businesses that are bringing big ideas to the next decade.
As a Venture Atlanta Startup Showcase Company, Last Bottle Clothing will be spotlighted during a special networking event on October 16 where it will provide a "sneak peek" of its products and business plan and be given the opportunity to connect with investors, entrepreneurs and other technology leaders.
The 11th annual Venture Atlanta is the Southeast's premier event for connecting technology innovation and investment capital and will take place October 16-17 in the heart of downtown Atlanta. With representation of over 140 funds and a roster of exciting speakers—including presentations from 33 of the region's top rising star technology companies and keynotes from former NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson and Dave DeWalt, former CEO of FireEye, McAfee and Documentum.
"Venture Atlanta is a great platform from which to showcase Last Bottle Clothing to impact investors from around the world," said Stuart Wood, CEO of Last Bottle Clothing, "we look forward to showing the investors that we can do very well while doing a lot of good!"
Last Bottle Clothing is disrupting the apparel industry by taking plastic pollution out of our environment and, just as importantly, keeping it out. Our soft, comfortable apparel is made entirely from recycled plastic bottles, and is 100% recyclable, so it never needs to end up as waste and can be reused repeatedly.
"For eleven years, Venture Atlanta has been connecting the Southeast's best and brightest innovators with top-tier investors and other leaders in our technology ecosystem—helping to launch over 400 companies and secure over $2.6 billion in funding," said Allyson Eman, executive director of Venture Atlanta. "This year, we're thrilled to be showcasing the strongest and largest group yet of early and venture-stage companies as well as exciting startups still in the beginning stages. These companies reflect the incredible pool of talented people and continued opportunities for growth and innovation within our technology community."
