The Road Show: Chicago Founder Happy Hour

​As part of “The Road Show,” a year-long series where I’m hosting a venture capital event in every state in the US, I’m coming to Chicago for a founder happy hour. I’m partnering with Jackson Bubala at Motivate Ventures for this Chicago stop. Join me on October 7 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM to meet local founders, investors, and operators. Venue arrangements are still being finalized. Attendance is by approval only; the venue and meetup instructions will be shared privately with confirmed guests. Please do not come unless your registration has been approved.
I’m the founder of Atas VC, an early-stage venture capital firm focused on investing in pre-seed companies using real technology to solve real problems for real people: American Necessities. My core belief is that great founders can come from any background; often, the founders best suited to solve problems in core American industries like agriculture, energy, or manufacturing won’t be located in Silicon Valley.
I’m also a bit of a niche TikTok micro-influencer. I’m documenting The Road Show for an audience interested in startups and venture capital, highlighting founders outside the typical VC haunts.
