Amazing IVCA Awards Dinner Celebrated The Broad Impact of Our IndustryThe 435 guests at IVCA’s Thirteenth Annual Award Dinner could hear a pin drop as each and every speaker captivated the crowd with speeches that were funny, insightful and delivered with absolute sincerity. The overall tone of the evening amplified what could be accomplished through collaboration: within management teams and between investors and management teams. Also highlighted were the collaboration that takes the form of a strong entrepreneur able to develop a deep partnership with an experienced venture capitalist or private equity investor and the collaborative relationships that develop between IVCA members who contribute to our shared mission of a stronger VC/PE industry in Illinois. The Awardees included: Steve Miller (and Second City trained) Founding Partner at Origin Ventures who received the Richard J. Daley Medal for his outstanding civic contributions. The award was presented to Steve by his partner, Brent Hill. Click HERE to view Brent & Steve’s remarks. Ending the evening was Lee M. Mitchell (Thoma Bravo), IVCA Chairman.
