🎉 Big announcement! I'm building a new fund for Chicago & IL called the Velocity Catalyst Fund! "Velocity" (for short) will be a $50M hybrid fund designed to anchor high potential pre-seed startups and emerging fund managers in Chicago & Illinois’ most critical industries to produce market leading returns for our investors and accelerate the flow of capital in our ecosystem. It's a hybrid fund, but unlike other similar funds (think Sequoia or Tiger Global) that go upstream for access to pipeline and dealflow, Velocity is going downstream to maximize returns by investing directly in pre-seed startups (where the multiples are highest) and simultaneously investing in the seed stage emerging fund managers that can provide our startups with the follow-on funding they need to scale. In the future, I'll be sending out community updates like this one via paperstreet, so please subscribe if you'd like to be updated on our progress as we raise and get to our first close. https://lnkd.in/e_MqTWvb Please do also cheer on Jessie Casey who has joined me to bring Velocity to life! And now for some light FAQ's. 🙋♀️ What does this mean for your work at P33? The short answer is that Velocity has been incubating in P33, and I will continue to support our team until Velocity's first close. At that point, I will likely transition into an advisory role. TechRise isn't going anywhere :) 🙋♂️ When will you start writing checks? As much as I'd love to start today, we still have to raise the fund. But if you're a founder or fund manager in Illinois, please do tell us more about what you're working on here: https://lnkd.in/ezzaCZQh and here https://lnkd.in/eU8u5xnU 🙌 How can I help you? Thanks so much for asking! One of the most helpful things you can do is add a testimonial below. If we've worked together, I've funded you, you've funded me, I've helped you find a job, mentored you, or taught you, I'd so appreciate you sharing some thoughts on why I'm the person to bring this to life. The second way you can help is by introducing us to potential investors. We're really excited to talk to accredited investors who believe that Chicago can be an economic powerhouse for generations to come. [email protected] P.S. We are doing 506c :)

We couldn't be more proud to support Imerman Angels this past weekend!
What a surreal moment this weekend. I got to participate in the Imerman Angels 5k brunch run. This is an organization I first met in 2009 at Rush University when I was the President of Colleges Against Cancer there. Jonny Imerman did a talk for us to all the clinical students there. In a crazy, “how life works out” kind of way … we now have the privilege of working with Imerman Angels where we use those same type of clinical students who were in the audience all those years ago to perform complex patient intake! If you don’t know Imerman Angels yet, you NEED to check them out! Please follow them and support where you can! Special thanks to Tom S. Lee!!!
