Closing HHM: Opening doors, Closing deals
Join La Familia Chicago for an evening designed to create more intentional connections across Chicago’s startup and venture ecosystem.
To close out Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re bringing together founders, investors, operators, and emerging business leaders for a curated networking experience focused on building relationships that can lead to capital, talent, mentorship, partnerships, and new opportunities.
Rather than traditional open networking, the evening will be structured around a “3-Way Connector” experience:
Founders connecting with investors aligned with their industry, stage, and growth journey
Investors meeting founders and operators across Chicago’s entrepreneurial ecosystem
Operators connecting with companies where their experience, expertise, and networks can create value
La Familia’s mission is centered on expanding access, opportunity, and capital for Latino founders and professionals. While Latino founders will be at the heart of the evening, this event is intentionally inclusive of investors, operators, allies, and community partners who share our commitment to strengthening the ecosystem.
Whether you’re raising capital, investing, building a company, looking for your next opportunity, or simply hoping to meet people shaping Chicago’s startup community, we’d love to have you join us.
Come ready to meet someone you may not have met otherwise, exchange ideas, and leave with a few relationships worth continuing beyond the evening.
