Another Chicago event? We hope not.

We want to create an event that combines the best qualities of our experiences and allow technical as well as non-technical founders to interact, network, exchange ideas and help each other. By bringing various professionals into the mix such as lawyers, accountants, media/marketing experts, sales, real estate, etc. to field questions from our local up and comers we hope to foster an all in one environment for entrepreneurs and those still unsure if that choice of career is right for them.
