In case you missed it, now you can watch the replay of Founders' Stories with Howard Tullman and Pat Ryan from December 2013. Watch it now.

Listen to some of our awesome alumni as they talk about how 1871 has impacted their business and helped get them to where they are today.

1871 was honored to participate in the ThinkChicago: Lollapalooza 2013 a few weeks ago, and the energy of the event is really evident in the Mayor's office video recap below. As part of the program, 100 students from top universities were selected to gain exposure to Chicago's tech community and then receive tickets to Lollapalooza. They visited Google, Threadless, and other tech companies, and we host an ideas contest and startup career fair at 1871.

Today we introduce a new video series featuring many of our fantastic CEC board members discussing their personal experiences and ideas on being an entrepreneur. Our first video features Genevieve Thiers the founder of Sittercity.com. Check back often for new posts weekly.
