About Event

Join Dealroom, Start Midwest, and TechNexus for an exclusive afternoon dedicated to the data driving the Midwest’s venture ecosystem.

This workshop is designed specifically for Ecosystem Support Organizations (ESOs), VCs, and economic development leaders looking for high-fidelity regional intelligence.

Featuring a keynote from Dealroom CEO Yoram Wijngaarde, we will dive deep into 2020–2025 VC flows, founder migration patterns, and state-by-state benchmarking across Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Indiana.

Beyond the numbers, we’ll explore global best practices for using ecosystem dashboards to attract investment and inform state-level policy. The session includes a collaborative panel discussion featuring regional leaders and beyond to tackle the "funding gap" and identify the blind spots in our current startup maps.

We invite you to connect with your peers throughout to go deeper with fellow decision-makers shaping the future of the Midwest. Designed as a compact, high-impact opportunity to see how world-class data can amplify our region’s narrative and drive institutional capital.

Space is limited. Register today.
