I am incubating a startup named Humaginarium at the Chicago Innovation Exchange, University of Chicago. Humaginarium is a digital platform supporting a virtual world of the human body where game simulations prepare players to fight morbidity in the real world. Read about the startup at humaginarium.com. Read about me on LinkedIn. I want to network for potential investors, advisors, partners at G4C and learn about benchmarks and competitive products.
