What happens in the room
We flip the room. Investors take the stage and pitch the founders, competing to win the deal instead of the other way around.
Candid, on-stage conversations with leading partners and operators on what is actually working in venture right now.
Intimate gatherings where the most important relationships of the night get made.
A smaller, e-commerce-focused morning gathering for founders and investors in the consumer space, hosted by the F&F Ventures team.

Thanks for a great event. Met a lot of amazing folks that night. Appreciate highlighting our product as well.
This is a really great event. It's super energizing. There's a lot of really great talent and interesting people in the room, and it's a great way to meet new people.
You have good people helping good people. I believe the Chicago ecosystem is very underrepresented, and events like these are gonna bring them closer together.
Been a great event, heard a lot of great advice for founders, and excited to talk to some of the VCs that are here.
Who shows up in the room
The whole ecosystem, in one room.
