Are you in Chicago on July 11th? If so, please join us! Last year, I hosted a "celebrating women starting businesses in Chicago" event and was blown away by the positive feedback from attendees, so I decided to make it an annual event - this year on 7/11! We have a special "2 for 1" option through 6/24 - buy your ticket and gift a ticket to a friend (please consider a male friend!) My goal is to get more men in the room. It's our chance to shift the narrative about women starting businesses from a women thing to an everyone thing. The audience was 20% men last year, and this year, I'd love to hit 40%. We have AMAZING speakers once again including keynotes Amanda Lannert and Ellie Bahrmasel, and the same great food and drinks during the reception. Buy your ticket here: lu.ma/redosummit Use code REDOGUEST to share the email of your chosen friend for their free ticket. We will send it their way! ✨ All proceeds benefit Chicago:Blend. ✨

Been a minute since I've been on here...what's been happening?

Founders: are there any questions VCs ask during intro or dd calls that you 1) think are good/interesting or 2) really dislike? Just curious as another VC and I were chatting about the founder perspective early today.
