​Join us on December 13 for the grand finale of the Chicago:Blend Venture Fellowship at CDW in downtown Chicago.

​BLEND TALKS will feature our 12 Chicago:Blend Venture Fellows as they take the stage to share thought-provoking, TED-style talks on key trends and industry insights impacting venture capital.

​Guests will hear remarks from Chicago:Blend staff, BLEND Talks from our Chicago:Blend Venture Fellows, and enjoy a light reception in the early evening to celebrate the capstone experience!

​This event is by invitation only and intended for VCs, angels and other investors who are interested in gaining new industry insights, sourcing new deal flow and recruiting new talent at their firms.

To date, more than 80% of fellows who applied for VC jobs have secured a role post-program.
