FUND put us on the map.
“Our biggest takeaway from the Chicago FUND Conference … was the market validation from an entirely new startup ecosystem that our business is solving a real problem.
Thanks to all the founders, investors, and community members for welcoming us into your city and showing love. We’ll be back soon!”
