SUMMARY:TechChicago: Building for Good
DESCRIPTION:A Chicago Tech Week event for founders building something that matters.\n​Most tech week events, you watch. This one, you’re in.\n​Join us for an intimate evening on community building, building for good, and navigating the messy middle of social impact, the parts no one posts about. We’ll start with a candid panel, open it up to your questions, and then get to the good stuff: small-group hot-seat coaching, where you bring your real challenge to the table and leave with an actual next step (and a few new people worth knowing).\n​✨ How the night flows\n​☕ Mingle + founder sampling — arrive, grab a coffee or bite, and discover what the builders in the room are making.\n​🎙️ The panel — Haley (Starting Line VC) moderates founders Mahika, Gwen, & Sophia on community, impact, and the hard parts of building for good.\n​🙋 Q&A — your turn to ask.\n​🔥 Hot-seat coaching roundtables — split into small groups, each led by one of us. Bring a real challenge; get coached by the table.\n​🤝 Takeaways & connections — leave with one next step and at least one new relationship.\n​👋 Your hosts\n​Mahika Hari — Founder, Centr. The app to help people be better villagers by showing up for the people who matter most. Community, built on purpose.\n​Sophia Huard — Co-Founder, Ghost Social. Building in the IRL economy by bringing people (and the rooms) together.\n​Gwen Wiscount — Co-Founder, Fabrik. Building social wellness spaces and experiences people remember.\n​Haley Kwait Zollo — Starting Line. VC backing early founders; your moderator and resident investor lens.\n​🙌 Who it’s for\n​Founders, operators, and community builders, anyone making something with impact and wrestling with the real challenges of getting it off the ground. Come solo or bring someone worth introducing.\n
