​No Pitches. No Panels. Just (VC) Vibes. 🥂

​Chicago:Blend & V2:VC are back at it. We’re taking over the Guinness Brewery in West Loop to help the investor community reconvene as we dive into autumn. This is your chance to catch up with friends, talk shop, and swap deal flow without the usual event noise.

​The Ground Rules:

• ​Investors Only: This is a pitch-free zone. No founders, no pressure—just your peers and the newest cohort of Chicago:Blend Venture Fellows.

• ​Zero Programming: No long-winded panels or "fireside chats" that could have been an email.

• ​Good Food & Drinks: We’re serving up drinks (including NA options) and heavy snacks. It’s not a 5-course dinner, but you definitely won't leave hungry.

​Space is limited and reserved strictly for VCs and CVCs. Snag your spot before the waitlist kicks in!

​Thank you to Wells Fargo for generously sponsoring our VC Happy Hour!
