Application Deadline: Founders’ Circles
The Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and the Harry L. Davis Center for Leadership at the University of Chicago present the Polsky Founders’ Circles, a virtual place where you can connect with fellow founders to take stock of your company’s current challenges and opportunities, receive coaching from an expert Ken Kelly, MBA ’98 and Stephen Kohler, MBA ’02. Also, learn from your fellow founders.
There are two circles: one for early-stage company founders and one for growth-stage company founders.
The circles meet once a month from October 2026 through March 2027. Interested applicants must commit to attending all six meetings. During these monthly meetings, you’ll be able to do the following:
- Connect with a group of fellow founders to share experiences and lessons
- Share your current opportunities and challenges and receive support from your peers and coaching from a Chicago Booth alumni coach
- Identify a key action or two that you can commit to that will make a difference for you or your company during this six-month period
- Create ways to support each other and be supported through collaborative learning and shared experiences
