👋🏻 Come say hi - we look forward to seeing you!

Join Capitalize VC for the Early-Stage B2B SaaS Founders & Funders Breakfast, as part of TechChicago Week. This curated, inclusive event will uplift the voices of founders from all backgrounds in the tech industry. We're excited to host this event in collaboration with Forum Ventures and LongJump, sponsored by Cooley LLP. 

If you're a Pre-seed to Series A B2B SaaS founder (especially those who identify as BIPOC, Women+, disabled, and/or LGBTQIA) or an Investor/VC wanting access to diverse ideas and opportunities in the B2B SaaS space, we hope you'll join us!

RSVP HERE: https://lnkd.in/gyNBhrCH

💪🏻 Let's go! Excited for TWO LongJump founders, Prarthana Gupta (OrdrSmart (Techstars Farm to Fork'23)) and Sophia Wennstedt (Blip Energy), to be featured in The Garage at Northwestern University's Alumni VentureCat competition in SF on July 19!

“Sometimes, being a founder comes with a lot of doubt. I think it’s always just important to put yourself out there. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt, it’s to not stay quiet and not live in the face of doubt, but really be out there and tell your brand story.”
