Helping Startups Get ExposureTech Cocktail offers a handful of startups an opportunity to show off in an expo-style to the rest of the Chicago entrepreneurial community for FREE. Through the years, we’ve showcased hundreds of startups such as: SCVNGR, SocialThing, The Point (now GroupOn), ArtistData and many more. During past mixer events we have had companies find employees, co-founders, funding and some start-ups have even been acquired. If you have a startup you would like to show off at Tech Cocktail Chicago please submit this form. We will contact you if your startup is selected. Space is limited. Connecting Startups and InvestorsTo continue to add value and stay true to our “cocktail mixer of tech people” theme, we are calling all Chicago-area entrepreneurs looking for seed funding or angel investors as we will be trying to help match local startups with local seed or angel investors. If you are an angel investor interested in finding additional deal flow we look to help you too. We know that this type of connection has happened naturally at our events in the past, but we want to help water the seeds a bit and ensure that the fruit of our labor is a better connected entrepreneurial community.
