Founder Night Out Chicago: Meet Midwest's AI Founders, Investors and Operators

If you have a startup idea or a growing company and you want to expand your network in Chicago, then join us for the in-person 'Founder Night Out' event. At this informal networking event, you can connect with other early-stage entrepreneurs, startup mentors, and advisors from the Founder Institute network. With AI reshaping how founders build, launch, and scale, it's the perfect moment to swap notes on the tools and tactics working right now — whether you're a technical builder or just getting started. Socialize over drinks with potential co-founders, advisors, mentors, and partners, trade ideas on building smarter with the latest tools, and most of all, get away from the computer and have fun!
