Ask Jeremy Sanchez why Chicago, and the answer isn’t polished — it’s honest: it’s where the work feels real. Now at Merraine, he’s doubling down on that belief — focusing on companies that value substance, build with intention, and need leaders who can truly operate, not just impress. https://lnkd.in/gJxbVwbS

I had 118 conversations with founders, operators, and leaders in Chicago this March Madness. One pattern kept showing up. The ones scaling fastest weren't obsessing over valuations. They were obsessing over People. Specifically, who's in the room when things get hard. That's where Merraine Group comes in. We're not a recruiting firm. We're talent partners. Our network is built with operators who've lived your exact stage. Bootstrap to scale. Seed to Series C. All the way to IPO. They've felt the damage of a bad hire. They've felt the momentum of the right one. That's why they don't do transactions. They build companies. 2026 is just getting started. And the best builders deserve partners who've already been in their shoes. If you're in a critical hiring phase, let's talk. What's the talent need keeping you up at night?

Jeremy Sanchez built CultureHub to challenge how companies think about hiring—not as a task, but as a critical inflection point 💫 Now at Merraine, he’s scaling that same philosophy with the platform and reach to match its impact 👇 https://lnkd.in/gD-FqK5K

Two events. One week. Chicago showed up. We took Merraine Group's expansion tour to Wrigley for Cubs Opening Day. Big Star. Budweiser Patio. All 4 seasons in one day. Didn't matter. Founders. CEOs. CFOs. Operators. All building something that matters right here in Chicago. So good we already got approval to make it recurring. Running it back next year! Shoutout to my partners Michael Lazerow & Codi McCommon for traveling in again, back-to-back events, same energy, all week. We're talent partners who get the challenges you're facing. Merraine Group exists to support good people building even better things in Chicago. That's what this week proved. Twice. Want to learn more about future events or how Merraine can support your next phase of growth? Let's talk!

Wednesday was a win. We brought together the heavy hitters from Keycare, 1871, Alumni Ventures, dscout, and OneBit to talk shop in the Pasta at il Carciofo. Why the lab? Because we get the science of scaling. In the venture world, a mishire isn't just a mistake — it’s a setback. As global talent partners rooted in Chicago, Merraine is here to ensure you have the right people in the room.
