We have an exciting announcement to make!
To kickoff of this Thursday's Lean Startup Circle Meetup we will be announcing the 2012 Chicago Lean Startup Challenge Finalists!
105 teams with 280 people entered the Challenge and 17 teams made it to the semi-finals. Together, they interviewed over a thousand customers, they built websites, they pivoted, they drew customers to their sites, they collected data, they helped each other without wanting anything in return and they did an incredible amount of work over the 10 week period. We are so proud of them. It has been a daunting task to pick the 4 finalists because they are all so awesome. But, no matter who gets chosen; they are all winners! They learned how to go from an idea to a real business.
To hear the announcement, join us for...
As always, we will have pizza, beer, and networking with other startup enthusiasts.
