Hey friends,
Welcome to Issue #14 of the Driver’s Seat 🚙
Over the weekend, I had a chance to visit Minneapolis to experience the city’s unique ecosystem.
I connected with some super cool founders / investors to learn about what makes this Midwestern city truly special.
With this in mind, I’m excited to share that we’ll be co-hosting a new event at the Drive Chicago office during TechChicago Week with Minneapolis’ very own Matchstick Ventures.
The purpose of this gathering will be to explore pre-seed insights that exist between the coasts for early-stage founders and funders.
Our friends at Cooley Chicago are helping us put this event together.
