Chicago:Blend is proud to team up with ​LaFamilia Foundation and ​Techqueria for a no-fluff conversation with Latine founders and investors who’ve built, scaled, and negotiated their way through venture-backed growth, while fighting to protect what matters most: equity.

​This panel goes deep on the mechanics of ownership:

• ​How much of your company should you still own by Series A?

• ​What kills a cap table before you ever get to term sheet?

• ​What deals aren’t worth the dilution—and how do you walk away?

​Set inside the Andreu World showroom at the iconic Merchandise Mart, this event brings together the Chicago chapter of La Familia Foundation with voices from FounderFamilia, AngelFamilia, and VCFamilia. Expect tactical insights, candid stories, and real frameworks for building wealth.

​Limited seats. Real talk. Trae tus preguntas!.
