On Wednesday night in front of a packed house at Atlanta Tech Village, eight Atlanta-based startups got on stage and presented three minute pitches for a chance to earn a coveted slot at this year's Venture Atlanta conference, the premier venture capital conference that takes place each fall in the city.
