The Chicago Booth Angels Network of Chicago and New York (CBAN Chicago & New York ) is a nonprofit, affinity organization founded and run by alumni of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.  The group is part of the global Chicago Booth Angels Network. The Chicago Booth Angels of Chicago and Chicago Booth Angels of New York began operating as one organization in 2024. 

We promote and strengthen the Chicago Booth Brand and the University of Chicago community by presenting our members with high-value investment opportunities, the ability to discuss deals collaboratively, and peer networking that deepens their connections to each other and the school— all while giving entrepreneurs with great ideas access to a unique source of smart money from University of Chicago-educated investors. We’re helping to shape the future of start-ups in the US by making high-caliber connections, both virtual and in-person, between alumni who have enjoyed great success in their careers and promising young companies seeking to amplify their impact.

The dynamic culture of CBAN Chicago & New York appeals to individuals who embrace networking, collaboration, and intellectual growth . Rooted in core values of  pride in our affiliations with the University of Chicago and Booth, transparency, fairness, respect, and prudent risk-taking, we cultivate meaningful connections that continually fortify our ever-growing, ever-evolving angel community.
