The Chicago-based firm was founded in 2022. Supported by The Pritzker Organization (TPO), 53 Stations offers more than 60 years of company-building expertise, the flexibility of a single LP, and the agility to meet the evolving needs of today's entrepreneurs. 53 Stations is industry-agnostic, and is not restricted by investment mandates or fundraising demands. 53 Stations both leads and co-invests, writing initial checks from seed to Series B stage, and offers unfettered access to mature businesses in the TPO portfolio, whose executives can serve as advisors and potential customers to 53 Stations' portfolio companies.
