During this year's Chicago Venture Summit, GrubHub CEO Matt Maloney shared his thoughts on Chicago's entrepreneurial community and how 1871 can be a vital resource to the city's entrepreneurs. Watch a selection of his talk below:

1871 provides opportunities for its members to grow their businesses and learn more about all aspects of running a technology startup from sales and marketing to PR and funding. Weave The People values being a member of the 1871 community and utilizes the opportunities provided to help nurture our business, really taking every opportunity to make the most out of our 1871 membership.

Last week, Chicago’s iconic 1871 incubator held a ribbon cutting for its 25,000 square foot expansion. This growth allows 1871 to extend what it is already great at – being an incubator of incubators, and an accelerator of accelerators. It is one of the elements that make 1871, and this expansion, unique. A goal of the expansion is to nurture vertically focused incubators in the areas of food tech, education tech, financial tech, Internet of Things, and veteran tech and WiSTEM (women-owned startups). Having industry-focused incubators in place ensures a pipeline of economic activity in the spaces that will drive growth and employment for Chicago.
