Are you in Chicago on July 11th? If so, please join us! Last year, I hosted a "celebrating women starting businesses in Chicago" event and was blown away by the positive feedback from attendees, so I decided to make it an annual event - this year on 7/11! We have a special "2 for 1" option through 6/24 - buy your ticket and gift a ticket to a friend (please consider a male friend!) My goal is to get more men in the room. It's our chance to shift the narrative about women starting businesses from a women thing to an everyone thing. The audience was 20% men last year, and this year, I'd love to hit 40%. We have AMAZING speakers once again including keynotes Amanda Lannert and Ellie Bahrmasel, and the same great food and drinks during the reception. Buy your ticket here: lu.ma/redosummit Use code REDOGUEST to share the email of your chosen friend for their free ticket. We will send it their way! ✨ All proceeds benefit Chicago:Blend. ✨

Been a minute since I've been on here...what's been happening?

Props to @canva for making it easiest enough for my 7 year old artist to design, print and ship water bottle stickers completely on his own for himself & his friends. This is the new mixtape.

@thenealfrancis We have all the coffee bags!!

These sold out right away. Should we print more?

This is my favorite time of year! Watch these talented @DavidsonCollege student #entrepreneurs pitch for the audience choice award of $5k! #liberalarts in action!

How to turn a robotic slide deck reading into the performance of a lifetime! May 1 @ 7:00 pm - May 11 @ 9:00 pm When: The class will meet 4 times over the course of two weeks on Mondays and Thursdays. The dates are May 1, 4, 8 & 11. All sessions are 7:00pm-9:00pm. Link in bio!

@billdiskin It’s great to listen to him read it. Very meditative!

I have a dream to win a Grammy for record production. Putting it out into the world today and getting started on learning more about audio production! If you have resources, connections to people willing to mentor, or advice of what not to do, I’m here for it!

@Andrew__Ashur Would you be willing to help me do some fundraising to get students grants to be able to do this? I have several who are interested….

More students should consider creating their own businesses in the summer, rather than working internships. Especially unpaid internships... Hear me out: -worst case, you make no money and learn a lot. -best case, you make some money, learn a lot, and now have a business!

Founders: are there any questions VCs ask during intro or dd calls that you 1) think are good/interesting or 2) really dislike? Just curious as another VC and I were chatting about the founder perspective early today.

@ClaudeCimeus This is great. Sent to a few of my students with Chicago ties!

@ClaudeCimeus @GathersetHQ Couldn’t love this more, my friend. Excited to see what you’ve decided to build!

From ideation to designing to building to selling to iterations — to the very end. Talk to your users throughout the whole journey. Me and my co-founder @GathersetHQ are beyond obsessed with our targeted users.

@galeforceVC Is this just in Chicago? Would love to learn more!

Excited to lead the WEDO efforts in Chicago this year! ✨✨✨
