Join Chicago:Blend and our VC and community partners as we celebrate Women’s History Month with good food, great networking and a conversation featuring Chicago’s top investors and founders.

Celebrate Women's History Month with Cohen Circle by joining Co-Founder Betsy Cohen and CEO Amanda Abrams for an intimate discussion on their paths to becoming women who lead, the challenges they've faced along the way, and their advice for the new generation of rising leaders.

In recognition of Women’s History Month, BLCK VC and GV are hosting an in-person panel and mixer to examine and raise awareness around what it takes to advance a career in VC, via the diverse perspectives of Black women.

Charles Newhall, cofounder of NEA, a leading venture capital firm for nearly fifty years, will share stories and insights about founding and building NEA as well as the "good, the bad, and the ugly" of creating new companies. And, as a member of a venture family with a combined 80+ years of experience, Newhall offers a unique, firsthand perspective on the evolution of the venture finance industry.

We are excited to commemorate 50 years of empowering America’s startups and entrepreneurs.
