Join LongJump, and Chicago:Blend for a gathering of angel investors and the "angel curious" — people exploring their first investment, looking for a community to learn and invest alongside, and interested in what it means to be a first-check believer in a founder. This event will be un-programmed and an opportunity to network within the investor community. Come as you are and look forward to connecting. ❗️A note for founders: While we often host events for both founders and investors, this one is just for investors and any founders who RSVP will be declined. We'll have more founder-focused events coming down the road and you can subscribe to LongJump's Luma calendar to be the first to hear about them. Thank you to our sponsors: This event is made possible by The Coleman Foundation. The Coleman Foundation invests in the efforts of community-based organizations and local institutions to preserve and strengthen the physical health and the economic and emotional well-being of people living in the greater Chicago region.

Chicago | Claude for Finance An evening for Chicago finance practitioners on what they are actually doing with AI, and what broke when they tried. Hosted at Ferris & Co in the Loop. No pitching. Real workflows, honest failure modes, and live demos of what works today. What to expect Diligence, research, and memo drafting in practice Risk, compliance, and model governance from people who own it Portfolio monitoring and LP reporting workflows The unglamorous FP&A and treasury work where this pays for itself What people quietly abandoned, and why Who it's for Practitioners across venture capital, private equity, private credit, public markets, corporate finance, fintech, and risk.
