“We've been able to find collaborations with other nonprofits and for-profits, startups, and just individuals who either see a mission that they like within the work that we do and can support us, whether that be through fundraisers or mentorship, and vice versa.”
“You're surrounded by so much innovation and so many people who are doing these amazing things. A lot of people who are, you know, a step ahead of where you are. So it's great to have that mentorship as well.”
“Because building a business is hard. And sometimes it can feel lonely. And it's so great to be able to interact with other people and bounce ideas off of them. To get other kinds of opinions, on where we're going.”
“I think a lot of people in Chicago tech really lead with a give-first attitude. And Teamworking really exemplifies that attitude, that culture that I think is very unique to Chicago. Whether you're looking to connect with a founder, with a VC fund, or with another nonprofit organization, you will find people that are willing to give you time, willing to sit down, willing to open up their networks, willing to give you advice and feedback.”
