Hey there! Great to meet you! I'm Rajiv Nathan aka RajNATION. I started attending Startup Grind Chicago events in 2019, became a co-director in 2020, and started leading the chapter in 2022. My goal for the chapter is to provide you with perspective, whether that's through our content, event formats, or trainings.
