We're excited to bring the Entrepreneurship Funders Network and entrepreneurship funders together for the 2025 EFN Convening in Chicago!
Tell your other entrepreneurship funding friends, invite your teams, register for the event, make your travel arrangements, book your hotel, and please join us for a dynamic experience that explores what can be achieved for entrepreneurship, entrepreneurs, and the communities they serve.
We accomplish more together than is possible alone. Let's come together in person in Chicago.
As agenda details are finalized, they will be posted here and on our 2025 EFN Convening webpage. Please note that at this time, these are private pages that are intended for current funder members or prospective funder members of EFN. Please bookmark pages, and go back to them when you want to know more.

2025 EFN Convening Sponsorship
This unique gathering creates brave space for funders to connect with each other, broadly share ideas, explore questions and curiosities particular to their role as funders, and co-create new initiatives. In addition to connecting with each other, funders are able to connect with other ecosystem partners to build a fuller picture and deeper understanding of how equitable entrepreneurial ecosystems are functioning and where there might be opportunity for innovative improvements. Sponsorship is designed to ensure that connection, learning, and co-creation remain the primary focus.
Please visit our FundRazr site for details about sponsorship levels and benefits. For additional questions about event sponsorship, please contact Ify Aduba at ifeoma@eshipfundersnetwork.org.
