In December, LongJump brought together our portfolio for a day of sessions and connection with our community. Special thanks to [Tim Huelskamp](https://www.linkedin.com/in/timhuelskamp/) of [1440](https://join1440.com/) for joining our founders for a chat on how he bootstrapped a multi-million dollar media business and to [Sonali Lamba ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonalilamba/)for leading a leadership development session for the group.\
\
In addition to our portfolio-only sessions, investors and operators from the Chicago ecosystem joined us for a fast-paced matchmaking session, which fostered 70+ connections over one hour.\
\
Thanks to the greater LongJump community for capping off 2025 for us! Check out our photos from the event below:
