AI Tech Founders, Investors & Pitch Night by AstraTech I Chicago

Experience high-signal networking and live startup pitches with a team behind 180+ global events across 19 global cities:from San Francisco and New York to London and Singapore. We build rooms where founders, investors, and ambitious tech professionals connect in a more intentional and meaningful way.

Join us in Chicago for an evening focused on real-world AI, emerging technologies, and high-quality venture connections.
Whether you are a founder, investor, or someone serious about building something meaningful, this is where you meet people shaping what’s next.

• Curated Room: We intentionally keep our events intimate (up to 40 people) so it’s easier to meet the right people, not just collect random contacts.

• Live Pitch Session: A focused 1-hour session where selected founders present AI/IT projects, followed by audience Q&A.

• Investor Alignment: We work with investors across multiple cities and help increase visibility of relevant founders within our network.

• Global Context: You are stepping into an international, ambitious tech environment, not a local casual meetup.

• Founders & Co-founders seeking visibility, feedback, and connections.

• Investors & Scouts looking for relevant early-stage opportunities.

• Tech Professionals - builders, operators, and future founders.

• Ambitious Individuals - serious about entering the startup and AI/Tech ecosystem.

Participants with a Speaker Ticket (AI/IT focus required) are guaranteed a pitch opportunity during the event. Relevant speaker profiles and presentation materials may be shared with selected investor contacts in our network to support post-event visibility.

Matching & Relevance: To ensure the highest quality of connections, both founders and investors will be invited to complete a short matching form after registration. This helps us align startup projects with specific investor interests.
