Two weeks ago we kicked off the #ClubM25 Summit in Chicago 🎉
Hundreds of founders & investors. Two days of connection, learning and celebration. One of the Midwest’s biggest VC gatherings since 2017—this year did not disappoint.

It was a great week in Chicago! 🏙️
The 2025 #ClubM25 Summit might’ve been our biggest yet: 2 days at @NorthernTrust with 1,000+ 1:1s, founder & investor dinners, a happy hour under the Bean and even an afterparty at the Chicago Athletic Association. #InvestintheMidwest
