History of the Chicago Tech Scene (Infographic)

Chicago is the city that works. Its hardworking heritage stems from the city’s blue collar tradition, strong Midwestern values and sense of responsibility. Unlike other cities, Chicago emphasizes generating revenue early and growing companies the old-fashioned way.

 

The tech scene here is growing quickly and if you’ve walked onto the 12th floor of the Merchandise Mart in the past year, you’ve felt the movement we’re all part of. As BigMarker celebrates our community of hard workers, this infographic takes a look back at how far we’ve come.

 

BigMarker will be present at Techweek on the Merchandise Mart's 8th floor.
We're also hosting a party with Technori on Friday the 28th at BigMarker HQ! RSVP here.
