We had the best time kicking off Chicago Tech Week!
Last week's 'Pre-Seed Between the Coasts' event at @drivecapital with @MatchstickVC, @CooleyLLP, and @longjumpfund. The biggest insights: - Chicago was one of only four major metros (out of 20) to see a rise in pre-seed activity between 2022 and 2023, expecting similar growth
Congrats to the After.com team on raising a $10 Million Series A round! businesswire.com/news/home/2024…
