Merraine Group: Cubs Opening Day for Builders & Operators
To celebrate Merraine Group’s expansion into Chicago, we’re hosting a curated group of the city’s top founders and investors for an all-inclusive Opening Day experience at the Friendly Confines.
The Philosophy
The company has lived the idea that people aren’t part of the business. They are the business. When Kass and Mike Lazerow acquired Merraine, their goals were clear: to bring a founder’s mindset to recruiting.
-Speed without compromise.
-Operator insight over instinct.
-Partnerships built on trust, not just transactions.
Quite simply, Merraine is built differently.
They don’t just fill roles. They find the people they’d want on their own team. If you’re just looking for a staffing firm to fill positions, Merraine probably isn't for you.
But if you’re looking to partner with founders who’ve turned team building into a competitive edge across multiple billion-dollar ventures, they’d love to have a conversation.
The Event
We’ve secured the Budweiser Patio (all-inclusive) at Wrigley Field for a day of baseball and high-level connection. We have exclusive early access starting at 11:50 AM. This 90-minute window before the 1:20 PM first pitch is when we’ll be doing the heavy lifting on introductions and sharing what we’re building in Chicago.
It’s a relaxed environment designed to make introductions that actually matter with great people doing great work.
When: Thursday, March 26.
Timeline: 11:50 AM Early Access | 1:20 PM First Pitch.
Vibe: Relaxed, all-inclusive, and high-energy.
Alt: Not a baseball fan? Join us for our Private Dinner on Wednesday instead.
