Chicago Ventures is a leading seed investment firm that focuses on supporting overlooked teams. We believe that enduring companies can be built anywhere and by anyone. Our approach is to lead early rounds of funding, even before it becomes obvious, and to actively partner with and support companies in their earliest stages.

We are not deterred by others who may find these teams un-scalable, with a small TAM, or unproven. Our portfolio of companies includes a diverse range of industries such as Consumer Media & Entertainment, Marketing, Healthcare, Supply Chain, Logistics & Warehousing, Fintech, and more. We take pride in being a founder's biggest advocate while also providing honest and straightforward feedback.

We are committed to putting in the work and invite founders to hold us accountable. If you're working on an innovative idea in one of our focus areas, let's get in touch!
