Pritzker Group Venture Fellows Program Information Session

The Pritzker Group Venture Fellows Program was launched at Kellogg in the spring of 2013 with a vision to accelerate Chicago’s next successful startups. Two Kellogg teams are selected each year to participate in the 12-week program and are mentored by PGVC’s investment and operating professionals. In addition, each team receives a $20,000 investment, co-working space at 1871 and access to PGVC’s network of entrepreneurial and corporate relationships. Lunch will be served.
