how to join some startup groups or conferences?

[MichaelCash]

Hi there!

I would like to join some venture funds or groups that work with startup, e.g. I am interested in organizations like Techweek, Startup Grind, BuiltIn, fundconference, etc

In other words, I am interested to work with startups, during my free time. I am a senior software engineer for one of the large corporation. I was thinking I can probably volunteer to start. Any ideas how to start with this? It looks like all venture funds are pretty closed and it is hard to get into this world.

Any ideas?

And I am located in Chicago

thank you!

Start by joining their newsletters... you'll get access to them and slowly be invited. Startups is about building relationships...

Nah, you've been doing a bunch of hit and runs.
