We’re expanding our US presence — and this year, that starts with backing our partner Lofty Ventures on something big for Chicago’s startup scene.
The 2nd Annual Lofty Angels Summit
On August 10, the Lofty Angels Summit will bring together founders, angels, VCs, executives, operators, civic leaders, and startup community builders for a full day on angel investing, venture capital, company building, and Chicago’s next generation of startups.
It’s built for a wide range of people:
- Angel-curious professionals taking their first look at early-stage investing
- Active angels and VCs looking to meet more of their peers
- Founders past Seed stage (70% off is available if you want to learn the investing side)
- Founders-turned-angels, operators, and anyone who cares about where founders and capital meet
Why this caught our attention
- Speakers include Josh Luber (co-founder, StockX & Fanatics Collectibles), Tom Sosnoff (co-founder, thinkorswim & tastytrade), Chris Yeh (Reid Hoffman’s Blitzscaling co-author), and Amanda Lannert (CEO, Jellyvision) — plus 25+ additional founders, investors, and operators worth watching
- Hosted at Bank of America’s building in downtown Chicago, with an optional rooftop afterparty after
- Chicago’s startup scene keeps punching above its weight, and rooms like this one are why
If you’re building or investing as part of the Romanian tech ecosystem’s US expansion, this is exactly the kind of room worth being in.
