Dear Built in Chicago Members,
As 2011 comes to a close we are seeing an uptick in activity across the entire lifecycle of a startup: idea > launch > funding > exit. In addition, we decided to take a look at historic Chicago exits and analyze the impact they've had on the technology landscape. Did you know that 2 of the 5 largest Internet IPOs were Built in Chicago? View Adam Calica's awesome blog post for an overview of Chicago's Digital Tech Exits.
Don't forget about the Great Lakes Entrepreneurial Bash and SeedCon TONIGHT plus all the great events lined up till the end of 2011.
