Founders & Funders: CHI VC Reverse Pitch
🎤 THE VCs ARE PITCHING THIS TIME | Chicago VC Reverse Pitch™
You've pitched investors a hundred times. Tonight, they pitch you. Their thesis, their check size, the industries they're betting on, and exactly what gets them to say yes — straight from the people writing the checks.
Founders & Funders™ puts the right founders and investors in the same room. This is our signature format: VC Reverse Pitch™, where investors pitch their thesis to founders instead of the other way around.
✅ INVESTORS PRESENTING
Hyde Park Venture Partners, New Stack Ventures, 11 Tribes Ventures, Vamos Ventures, 53 Stations, and Chicago Ventures.
You'll walk away with a direct line to active investors, a founder network worth keeping, relationships in place before you need them, and a clear read on which investors are actually a fit, not just access to a room.
