Thank you!

March 13, 2018

Our fundraising campaign has come to an end! We want to share a huge, huge thank you to everyone who donated and supported us along the way. The money you’ve donated has and will go toward securing renowned entrepreneurs and technologists to speak at the summit; programming costs such as pamphlets and banners; and marketing costs like posters, swag, and outreach events. We are incredibly grateful for all of your contributions, and we’re so excited to share the work we’ve done with you in May. You can learn more about NEST 2018 at www.nestsummit.com.

 

See you at NEST 2018!

 

Last day to donate!

March 12, 2018

We are almost at the end of our crowdfunding campaign, but there’s still some time left! Last year, NEST attendee Naomi Chan said, “I left NEST feeling inspired to take risks and pursue new endeavors.” We hope to empower even more students and entrepreneurs this year at NEST 2018. Last push to donate!

Our campaign is firing up

February 19, 2018

Thank you to those who have donated so far! Last week, we reached our first milestone -- 25% of our goal -- and because of you we can now begin to use the money to book the venue and reach out to renowned technology veterans to speak at the summit.

 

Please continue to share this campaign with people interested in supporting the growth of Northwestern and Chicago’s technopreneurship scene!
