Our Audience
The audience we seek to serve is founders, investors, engineers, builders, operators,
service-providers and enthusiasts. As our event list grows, we will be implementing a
preferences filter to ensure everyone is receiving events most relevant to them.
Industries, Organizations, and Partners
We track over 300 Chicago tech organizations, investor groups, communities,
identity-focused groups, hackerspaces, incubators, accelerators, tech-focused
non-profits, and university programs across key event forums and organization pages.

We follow and partner with several voices in the tech community to keep abreast of
developing trends. Through collaboration, we seek to reduce the noise that slows down
newcomers to the ecosystem and improve the sense of community by centralizing
information.
Our Standards
Our engineers use code to scrape dozens of websites for keywords, industry terms, and
organization names. We categorize these events by audience, topic, format, and start-up
phase, and curate to share only quality events with you. Our mission is to help you
avoid low-return uses of your time.
