We’re deeply committed to making sure underrepresented entrepreneurs have a strong presence at Neighborhood Economics. It’s a big part of what makes these gatherings so meaningful — and we work hard to make it possible through our own budget and with the support of generous sponsors who contribute to our scholarship fund.

The full-price ticket for the Chicago event (September 30 – October 2) is $695, but we’re offering a special $195 rate to a select group of entrepreneurs. And if that price is still out of reach, we’d love to work with you. Just let us know what you’re able to contribute — whatever amount works for you — and we’ll do our best to cover the rest through our scholarship pool.

Every bit helps us welcome more people into the room, and we’re grateful to be able to build this community together.
I can pay the reduced rate of $195
