Closing day of the relaunched Techstars Chicago accelerator, now run jointly with Long Chicago (the Midwest-thesis fund that succeeded Mathew Carstens' M25 days at Techstars). The class is intentionally small, in-person and Midwest-focused, and Demo Day is the public unveiling — short, tight pitches from a hand-picked cohort to a room of regional and coastal investors plus the Techstars mentor network. If you want a clean read on what the actual best new Chicago founders look like this year, this is the room.
