Entrepreneurship Funders Network hasn't added a story.

“The EFN conference is just pure magic. It's a time you can step away from your desk and co-create a dream of a better future. What could be better than that?”

Tiana Austel, eBay Foundation

As you make your plans to join EFN in Chicago, October 26-29, for the 2025 EFN Convening, consider sponsoring the event!

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 of the 2025 EFN Convening is designed to ensure that connection, learning, and co-creation remain the focus.

The 2025 EFN Convening is an essential part of building a member-driven, active network for impact. We accomplish more together than is possible alone – advancing our shared vision of vibrant communities fueled by equitable entrepreneurial ecosystems.
