Make the Cut - Become a Sponsor
IVCA Foundation
The IVCA Foundation is pleased to share that sponsorship opportunities are now open for the 2026 IVCA Invitational, our premier annual fundraising event in support of the IVCA Scholars Program.
The Invitational brings together leaders across Illinois’s venture capital, private equity, and innovation ecosystem for a memorable day of connection and community with proceeds supporting initiatives that expand access to careers in private capital and strengthen the future talent pipeline.
Foundation sponsors play a vital role in:
- Supporting high‑potential students pursuing careers in venture capital and private equity
- Investing in long‑term workforce development for the industry
- Advancing a more accessible and inclusive innovation economy in Illinois
We are grateful to the many firms and individuals who have supported the Invitational in past years, and we welcome both returning and new sponsors to join us in 2026.
