TechChicago Week KICKoff!
Chicago:Blend, LaFamilia, LongJump, and VamosVentures are bringing back the TechChicago Week KICKoff event for TechChicago Week 2025 at Skyline Pitch!
Whether you play soccer or just like to hang out on a Chicago rooftop in summer, join us to start the week with some of the city's investors, founders, and operators.
If you're interested in playing, we're organizing a little tourney. Founders, this is your opportunity to score some points against your favorite VCs.
This is a casual event: if you plan to play, bring shoes and clothes to run around in. We'll provide everything needed for the games.
Special thanks to our corporate partners CDW and J.P. Morgan's Innovation Economy team for helping to produce this event.
