Events

The Chicago tech community is thriving—and for the city’s digital startups, there’s no shortage of local inspiration. Success stories abound—and one of the most popular tickets around always seems to be the chance to hear the story straight from the mouths of the Founders. Join us for the kick off event of Chicago Founder Stories at 1871—a monthly, ongoing series inspired by Chris Dixon’s ever-popular Founder Stories on TechCrunch. We’re switching it up a bit, doing our interviews in front of a live audience with Twitter based Q&A, and then posting those discussions online at 1871's website for those who couldn’t make it to the live event. Plus—the beer and pizza is on us, generously sponsored by INCISENT.
