Chicago Angel Investor Meetup
Join Hustle Fund's Angel Squad, LongJump, and Chicago:Blend for a gathering of angel investors and the "angel curious" — people exploring their first investment, looking for a community to learn and invest alongside, and interested in what it means to be a first-check believer in a founder.
This event is intentionally low-key. We'll kick things off with a short round of Community Callouts — a few attendees sharing why they showed up and what they want to connect on — then get out of the way and let the room do its thing.
Want to speak during Callouts? When you register, note that you'd like 60 seconds to share your investing experience, a question you're sitting with, or anything angel- or ecosystem-related. No scripts, no decks — just a way to break the ice and help the right people find each other.
Thank you to our venue sponsor:
We'll be gathering at Norton Rose Fulbright's beautiful office in Fulton Market, where attendees can enjoy sunset views from their patio overlooking the city (weather permitting!). Please register for exact location details.
The Run of Show
5:30 PM | Warm Up — Arrival, drinks, and networking.
6:15 PM | Community Callouts — A quick welcome from the hosts, then 15 minutes of community callouts.
6:35 PM | The Build — Networking picks back up. You've heard the room — now go find the people you need to meet.
❗️A note for founders: This event is investor-focused and founder access will be extremely limited. If you're admitted, come to share your experience working with angels — not to pitch.
