Don’t think of this as a simple competition. This is a chance for Chicago startups to show their work on a grander scale. Our sponsor Microsoft Accelerator will have team members on-site to evaluate and report back on some of the ideas and products that stick out. You’ll also have a chance to learn about their program, which has churned out the likes of Beagle and Affinio. The startups in the showcase will, however, be considered for the Tech.Co Startup of the Year competition, which will be held in San Jose, CA during the Innovate! and Celebrate conference. This year, we’ve partnered with the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) – which produces the CES – for the global conference that will bring together tech leaders, influencers, investors, and of course, early-stage startup companies. Sign up today for the Chicago event and bring your team. We will have cocktails, snacks, and great networking.
