Wilson Sonsini is a proud sponsor of ​​VC Day - Chicago. An open event for startup founders and VCs looking to network in a casual setting. The goal is to create a low-pressure environment for all participants while enabling access to the greater venture capital ecosystem. ​​This is not a pitch event or a networking reception, it is as simple as sharing a co-working space for a day to promote organic relationships.
