Chicago Early Growth Ventures (CEGV)

Chicago Early Growth Ventures invests in early-stage startup companies, with a particular focus on Chicago-based entities. We will consider investments in almost any sector and demographic, typically at the seed stage. While not a requirement, we give preference to companies that are based in Chicago, have lead investors with a Chicago presence, or were founded by students or alumni of Chicago-based universities (Northwestern, University of Chicago, Loyola, etc.)
