Chicago:Blend’s Post

🎁 And that's a WRAP on Cohort SIX !! A HUGE congratulations to our latest class of Chicago:Blend Fellows!! 🎙️ Throughout the past four months, these 10 Fellows have been expanding their venture knowledge, community, and experience during the Chicago:Blend Venture Fellowship and last night they took the stage to share bold, thought-provoking insights on the latest trends impacting venture capital. 🏆 This is just the start of their Chicago:Blend story because last night we announced that across our first five cohorts, 88% of our Fellows who applied to VC roles ended up breaking into venture!! Huge S/O to our host CDW and program partners Tawani Foundation, The Coleman Foundation, BLCK VC, Origin Ventures who help make this work possible. 🚀 To the VC industry, get in touch with these Fellows!! Many of them are currently interviewing, talking to incredible founders, and already landed VC roles. 🥹 To our newest alumni, I cannot be more proud of the work you all have done. Can't wait to see where things go from here. Ibrahim Rashid, MPP, Shalina Clarke, Gabriela Gonzalez, Obi Okereke, Santiago Navarro, Ashton Keys, Brian A. Lung, Cristina Vaca, Isabel Rouse, Komala S.
