TiE Atlanta Siggie Awards 2026

TiE Atlanta’s Siggie Awards return Tuesday, November 17, 2026, from 5:30 to 8:30 PM at Emory Student Center, 605 Asbury Circle. Year eight honors early-stage investors across Investor’s Choice, Founder’s Favorite, Horizon Award, and Conscious Capital, with winners chosen by a named selection panel. Early bird ($75) ended October 31; general admission is now $99. VIP packages list Bronze $250, Silver $400, and Gold $500. Seats are first-come while inventory lasts—last year the host warned standing room only near the close. Goizueta’s page puts attendance at 85 in 2019 and 325 in 2025, with a 2026 goal north of 400. Register on events.tie.org; sponsor ticket questions go to rlaliwala5@gmail.com.

The Siggies are named for Sig Mosley, managing partner of Mosley Ventures and an Emory alumnus (Oxford College ’66, Goizueta BBA ’68). Since 1990 he has backed 145 startups with 105 liquidity events, including the $5.7 billion Tradex acquisition by Ariba—still cited as the Southeast’s largest venture deal. Emory Goizueta is founding host and university sponsor. Title sponsors on the live site include Warren Averett and J.P. Morgan Chase; the Alumni Dinner Sponsor is the Consulate General of India, Atlanta. That consulate line is the Indus corridor signal inside an otherwise Atlanta-wide angel awards night.

Selection committee names include Sid Mookerji, founder and managing partner of Silicon Road Ventures, the Atlanta commerce-tech fund he built after founding Software Paradigms International (SPI) in 1994—the retail-tech firm Cognizant acquired in 2018. Bridgepoint and local calendars also list ANGELCON ATL Featuring Venture Atlanta Angel Edition the same afternoon at the same Emory Student Center, with some guides putting a 2:00 PM start. Emory students evaluate 80-plus companies a year through Venture Atlanta Angel Edition; treat daytime angel registration as a separate cart until TiE says otherwise. Do not assume the $99 Siggie ticket covers ANGELCON.

Accredited angels, founders hunting first-check density, and operators already inside TiE Atlanta or Emory’s venture programs belong here. This is investor recognition on the Emory campus—not a free chamber mixer and not a charity gala. Come with one nomination story or capital ask you can say in a sentence.

Most ESC visitors park at Peavine Visitor Lot or Peavine Deck; FAQ copy says campus parking is typically free after 4 p.m. on weekdays. Rideshare drop-offs listed: 4 Eagle Row or 630 Means Drive, then paths around the Woodruff PE Center to the first-floor ESC entrance. Save the TiE confirmation email and watch for schedule notes sent only to registered attendees.
