Building a business can feel lonely. This lunch reminds you it's not. Join Chicago's female founders for 90 minutes that feel less like networking and more like coming home. Whether you're bootstrapping your first venture or scaling your third exit, you belong here. Step away from your inbox and into a room with founders who understand why you're still working at midnight, why that pivot was harder than expected, and why you're building this anyway. This is your space to connect over shared challenges, celebrate wins with people who understand what they cost, and build relationships that become more than LinkedIn connections.
No forced conversations. No elevator pitches. Just authentic connection with founders who get it. Bring your lunch (or grab takeout from nearby spots), bring yourself, and bring whatever's on your mind. The best conversations happen when we drop the professional polish and talk about what's actually happening in our businesses.
What to bring:
- Your lunch (BYOL encouraged—we've got great spots around Fabrik)
- Questions you're wrestling with Wins worth celebrating Yourself, exactly as you are
What to expect:
- Intimate group (limited spots for quality connection)
- Fellow female founders across industries and stages
- Real talk about the founder journey
- Connections that become your board of advisors, your collaborators, your community Hosted by Ari Krzyzek, Chykalophia Web Agency and 10th House Chicago City Host.
