ANDREW GUNDERMAN
Building at the bleeding edge of tech and hosting some of Chicago's highest tier guest lists.
ABOUT ME
Having taught myself how to code at 13-14, I was scouted as a software engineer at a young age and had 5 internship offers while still in high school. Having worked closely with a very successful entrepreneur in one of those opportunities, I decided to go the entrepreneurial route and started a company, raised venture capital at age 21, and then dropped out of school. I sold my first company at 23.
I host hyper-curated events for CEOs, executives, politicians, influencers, and more. I also host Chicago's premier event for the most accomplished & interesting individuals in the city. Many thousands of people have attended my events all over the country, and I've raised over 6 figures in sponsorship.
I also built Renowned Chicago with Madison Jade, which is the largest community of influencers, celebrities, and content creators in Chicago. The community has a membership with a cumulative almost 100 million social media followers and tens of billions of annual views.
I was named on the Inno 25 Under 25 list for 2023. You can find me in Entrepreneur, Forbes, Inno Magazine, and more.
