Pretty historic week in Chicago startups w/ @garrycooperjr & @BoldYou announcing a combined $25m in funding. Plus @kristensonday's $8m raise last month. Can't wait to see what the rest of this summer has in store!
Spot on
Keep thinking about this. I’ve shouted from rooftops for yrs… but chicago will not change rep with data, published reports, or PR. A 14sec vid just got more 👀 than yrs of “branding” work. As long as founders believe it’s much easier to raise elsewhere, they’ll go elsewhere.
Summertime Chi
Chicago is literally a cleaner New York and I’m in love. It’s 8 AM and there’s so many people wandering the streets, this city feels alive 😍
Now this is a real plan for Chicago tech. Let's put Steve in charge of everything.
I'm glad my "manifesto" of sorts has continued the discussion on Chicago tech community. I have exactly zero desire to run for any public office ever. However, if @EzraMoGee appointed me to run the show with Day 0 being this Monday, here's what my full-court press would be: 1/n
Amazing thread on the state of Chicago tech 🔥🔥🔥
I was not on the CH call the other day & have exactly zero desire to ever be on that dumb app. However, as someone involved in the Chicago tech community for the last decade as a founder, early-stage employee, and author of 2 reports pre-P33, I have some thoughts on things... 1/n
But the consultants will save us!
Chicago’s best tech CEO: now montana/michigan It’s 30yo young gun ceos: practically all in Miami It’s most prolific capital raiser: relocated to LA But local ecosystem “leaders” all like

👏👏👏
There are two Chicago tech communities The one with the talking heads saying the same things for a decade. And the one with the kids building weird stuff and working their hearts out. Press cares about the former because it’s easy. Invest into the latter because it’s harder.
Broke: -Awards shows -Management consultants Woke: -Risk capital -Convicted investors -Heads down building
Chicago, let's stop 1) looking to management consultants for answers 2) celebrating false milestones 3) trying to build "Chicago" companies. More risk capital & convicted investors. Founders who win, stay & invest here. Wins where many common shareholders get $$. That's it.
👋
A trend I'd love to see is more SF-based tech companies opening up Product & Eng offices in non-coastal cities, such as Columbus, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Boise, Milwaukee, Omaha, Nashville, Louisville etc.
