The Blind Spot: What Coastal Capital Keeps Getting Wrong

The most consequential impact investments of the next decade may come from fund managers this room has never heard of. Chicago:Blend is looking to bring Chicago’s leading fund managers into the room as educators, not pitchers. Each takes the floor to teach on a single topic: a shift in how capital is moving, a sector being mis-priced, or a community need the market has not yet caught up to. Attendees leave with real pattern recognition, not polished decks. As SOCAP convenes in Chicago for the first time, this session surfaces the investing intelligence that has been building in the heartland and puts it directly into the hands of the people in this room.
