A slow year for venture capital in Georgia worsened last week. One small deal was announced.
SAK Logistics, a logistics and inventory management software firm, closed on $500,000 from angels, according to The Atlanta Business Chronicle.
In all, nine deals have generated just over $60 million.
Georgia is far off the pace of 2002 when 23 deals worth $260 million were closed by April 30.
