WHO

WE ARE

TechRise by P33 is a multi-stakeholder initiative to support historically underrepresented tech founders from Chicago. We strive for racial, gender, and economic justice for all by challenging systems that limit access to capital from specific populations.

In partnership with Verizon, 1871, investors, incubators, community leaders, and startup founders, TechRise brings you community, capital, and connections for every stage of your business. We’re with you from idea to exit.

P33’s ambition is to turbocharge Chicago’s innovation ecosystem and promote inclusive economic growth. We believe inclusivity is an imperative for innovation and building a strong and diverse economy where all our citizens thrive is essential.
