About this Event
A Queer Connections x TechNexus TechWeek Experience
In a moment where many professionals are rethinking work, stability, and purpose, this event shifts the conversation from career uncertainty to creative ownership.
Hosted during Chicago TechWeek in partnership with TechNexus, this 90-minute experience brings together founders, investors, and operators to break down what it actually takes to turn skills into income, ideas into businesses, and setbacks into leverage.
This is more than a startup panel, it’s a space to translate lived experience, corporate skillsets, and cultural resilience into pathways for ownership and economic mobility.
We’ll explore:
- How to turn a pivot into a business opportunity
- What makes an idea actually viable (not just exciting)
- How to start with limited capital, clarity, or time
- And how identity shapes access, confidence, and resilience in entrepreneurship
What to Expect:
- Actionable startup insights
- Real talk about launching in today’s economy
- High-impact networking
- Free Drinks provided (21+)
This isn’t just a panel, It’s a pivot!
Secure your spot. Build boldly.
