Logistics Accelerator Coming to Chicago In Search of Fresh Talent

Logistics Accelerator Coming to Chicago! What comes to mind when you hear “freight and logistics”? Trucking. You’re not alone. Definitely not the sexiest concept, but we’re here to change that perception.

 

As an industry that has been slow to adapt to emerging trends and transition with other industries into the 21st century, our friends at Lamp Post Group have come together to launch an accelerator that will serve as a catalyst.

 

What are we doing to change it? A group of logistics veterans in the Chattanooga-based venture incubator Lamp Post Group recently launched Dynamo, a mentor-driven innovation and accelerator program specializing in logistics and transportation startups.

 

They want you! Dynamo hopes their program will help attract top technology talent to the more industrial side of distribution, which, as you know, has a reputation for being old-fashioned and resistant to change.

 

The future of logistics is taking off and Dynamo is searching for teams trying to make impactful change in the industry.

 

Are you wondering how to apply? Startups (from early stage to Series A) interested in applying, can come to their Chicago event, co-hosted by project44, at WeWork Fulton Market on Monday, April 25th from 6-8pm to receive guidance and feedback from seasoned technology and logistics veterans, as well as chat with the Dynamo team. Can’t make the event? Contact Dynamo at [email protected] or visit their website at helldynamo.com.

 

The Chicago event will kick off Dynamo’s national roadshow with bright ideas, good conversation and delicious cocktails. Join an exclusive group of innovative industry leaders, entrepreneurs and techies -- all of whom are hungry to change the way we transport goods.

 

Let us know if we’ll see you there!

 

Wait, back to the application process! Selected startups will participate in a three-month Silicon Valley-style program focused on propelling ideas into impactful hyper-growth which includes testing their ideas with businesses in the Chattanooga area. Don't miss your chance to apply, applications are due May 8.
