As one of the most active early stage investors in Chicago and operator of TeamWorking by TechNexus, the largest single coworking space in the city, we at TechNexus Venture Collaborative are actively tracking over 1,000 early stage Chicago ventures across all industries. In our newest series, Reinventing Industry: Mapping the Venture Landscape of Chicago, we’re highlighting the largest and most disruptive categories seeing local venture activity. To start, we examined the Chicago-based innovators in healthtech — which features companies building AI-powered imaging/diagnostic tools, digital health platforms, and novel medical devices, to name a few verticals. These young startups benefit from surrounding infrastructure like medtech accelerators (MATTER, mHUB ), incumbent corporate leaders (AbbVie, Walgreens, Baxter International Inc.), hospital systems (Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Rush University Medical Center, Endeavor Health), cutting edge research universities (Northwestern University, University of Chicago), and leading venture / PE firms (venture: 7wire Ventures, 2Flo Ventures | PE: Shore Capital Partners, Thoma Bravo) focused on the space. Read the full breakdown linked below, and stay tuned for the next overview of the energy / sustainability landscape!

We recently worked with Mercurial AI to equip them with branding, website and digital assets that help communicate their expertise in creating AI-assisted tools for human benefit in one of the most difficult life situations - living through cancer treatment. Mercurial AI is a Chicago-based startup founded by two highly experienced and driven individuals, Dennis Trujillo (PhD) & Sarah Blythe. They are passionately building an array of tools to assist both patients and oncologists, providing 24/7 companions that offer personalised health insights, symptom tracking, and a wealth of uniquely patient-specific information to empower individuals in their fight against cancer. Inspired by the cancer-awareness ribbons, Calumma Design established a flexible branding for the core company - Mercurial AI, and the two products in development - CarePilot and OncoPilot. A full case study will be available soon on our website. If you're working in healthcare at any level, anywhere in the world, make sure you connect with Dennis and Sarah, I genuinely believe that what they're building can help many people and your support can be a key part of making it happen.
