Exciting time for Chicago startups!

Good luck dude! I am in Chicago - hope you can find someone local and keep some of the startup mojo around here!

Sounds like a cool idea. I'd like to meet some hackers out in Chicago.

You're way more connected with the Chicago startup scene than I am. Do you think this list was representative? (I'm not challenging you; I genuinely don't know the answer).Let's set up an HN meetup.

Can we assume it's a Chicago startup?

Anybody in Chicago? I only see a few on here - there's gotta be more! :-)

How about Chicago? Anyone interested in meeting up in the Chicagoland area? Talk tech, talk startup, over joes or en grosse bier.

Chicago - LOLI was expecting some tiny city.I found over 50 meetups with only 60 seconds of effort??? If you can't make it work in Chicago, development might not be for you bro.Head over to building 1871. It looks like a good start.

Nice to see some other people from Chicago. We should organize some sort of downtown meetup.
