Open office hours - no pitch or deck necessary, just time for us to see if we can be helpful with your startup. If you have questions about Techstars Chicago, our new fund Long Chicago, or anything else startup / founder related, come chat.

Techstars Chicago, in partnership with Long Chicago, is an early stage accelerator & venture fund. We're long on the Midwest and intensely founder-focused. To our selected companies, we offer a large and committed investor + mentor base, dedicated office space in downtown Chicago for up to a year, and a program centered on building and fundraising. Our mission is to earn the right to be your most trusted advisor. Techstars Chicago is not industry or vertical focused - all ambitious founders are welcome to apply. If you're building something inevitable — especially if others don't see it yet — get in touch.
