About the Research

Add your perspective. 

Chicago has significant startup activity, expertise, organizations, programs, and resources. This research is designed to better understand how people experience that ecosystem and where opportunities may exist to make it more useful for those building companies.

Founders, investors, operators, students, service providers, ecosystem leaders, and others participating in Chicago's startup community are invited to contribute.

Every additional perspective strengthens our ability to understand where the ecosystem is working, where friction remains, and where better connections could create greater value.
