Chicago · Sports · Innovation
We bring the whole industry into the same room — founders, investors, teams, leagues, brands, athletes, and the operators behind them — through year-round events and our flagship Chicago Sports Tech Week.
The community
Chicago sports doesn't work in silos. Our membership deliberately spans every side of the industry.
The people building products, platforms, and companies across sport.
Venture funds, angels, and family offices deploying into sports and fitness.
Front offices and league staff working on the commercial side of the game.
Marketers, agencies, and sponsors investing in sports audiences.
Current and former athletes, media makers, and the teams behind them.
Operators, advisors, and university programs moving the industry forward.
Growth Partners
We work alongside founders and growing companies to sharpen the opportunity, build a focused pipeline, and support the right commercial conversations.
Commercial strategy, business development, and partnership support built for companies ready to take a product or service to market.
