Every Saturday at 9am on the Lakefront Trail: a founders-only run from the Chess Pavilion in Lincoln Park. Framed as a run club rather than a networking event, which is exactly why the conversation is sharper than a mixer, you cover a few miles with other builders at full-sentence pace, no name tags, no pitching. Pace is relaxed and the regulars are a mix of first-time and repeat Chicago founders. Good one to anchor a founder weekend to.
