LongJump wouldn't exist without Techstars Chicago. We're sad to see the city program leaving, but we wanted to write a bit of a thank you to @Techstars, sharing some of the history & impact, as well as our plans for the future. longjump.vc/updates/longju…
Love seeing FOUR @longjumpfund companies on the @ChicagoInno list of 24 Startups to Watch in 2024: @eventnoire, @hanahana_beauty, OrdrSmart, and Flora & Noor. We agree! bizjournals.com/chicago/inno/s…
A few years ago, I discovered Hanahana Beaty (@hanahana_beauty) because I wanted shea butter (ethically and sustainably sourced, all-natural) for my daughter. I went out and found the best – and then I invested.
Today’s the day. If you’re working on a new startup and you or one of your cofounders are within a few hours of Chicago, you should really apply to @longjumpfund. We invest $100k at the absolute earliest stages. Our team and community are second to none. Apply now at…
