Invest Georgia, a state-based program designed to support young Georgia companies, has delivered its annual 2015 year end report to the Governor and General Assembly. In 2015, the Program received its first round of funding in the amount of $10 million and the first investment was made with the selection of TTV Capital. The fund will focus on Georgia's rapidly growing financial services technology sector, also referred to as FinTech firms.
