Black Tech & Capital Exchange

​The Black Tech & Capital Exchange is a Black Business Month gathering bringing together investors, founders, operators, technology leaders, and ecosystem builders from across Chicago’s innovation community.

​The evening is an opportunity to celebrate the legacy and continued growth of Black entrepreneurship while creating space for the people shaping the future of technology, venture capital, and business to connect. We believe strong ecosystems are built through relationships, shared knowledge, and meaningful opportunities to open doors for one another.

Black Men in Venture exists to catalyze networking and collaboration for underrepresented talent in the innovation and startup ecosystem. This gathering is designed to open the week by creating space for meaningful connection.

Hosted at Three Cities Social Club, a Black-owned, membership-based social club founded by Draymond Washington, the venue reflects the spirit of intentional connection at the heart of this gathering. Built around the pillars of community, culture, and meaningful relationships, Three Cities Social Club embodies the type of space where authentic relationships are formed and sustained.
