#Chicago is the best big city for young people to live, work, & thrive. That's why I'm so proud to join my good friend Meagan Loyst 🧚‍♀️ for the 2023 Future-of-Chicago Summit by Gen Z VCs 💫 & World Business Chicago! Together, we hosted one of the largest #GenZVC events in the country.

#Chicago is home to a thriving #growthcapital ecosystem because of local firms like Supply Change Capital. Led by my good friends Shayna Harris & Noramay Cadena, 77% of their portfolio companies are led by CEOs who are Latinx, Black, and/or women. docsend.com/view/9m8fnp3hg…
