Hey everybody-
It’s that time of year again! We at the Chicago Interactive Marketing Association (CIMA), are excited to announce its second annual Chicago Digital Startup Initiative (CDSI). Each year we award grant money and in-kind services to two start-up organizations in the greater Chicagoland area.
One first-prize winner will receive $15,000 and a second winner will receive a grant of $5,000. Both recipients also obtain a complimentary CIMA membership, access to CIMA events, in kind services as well as mentoring from the CIMA Executive Board.
To be eligible, you must be a digital marketing and/or innovative online start-up and entity registered in Chicago or the Chicagoland area with $1 million or less in gross revenue.
Last year three winners were selected and each continues to blaze a successful path toward entrepreneurial leadership and recognition; two have been accepted to 1871.
Applications are being accepted now through October 15th, at https://www.chicagoima.org/partnership.html. The CDSI award announcement will be held on Monday, October 29.
Any questions feel free to reach out.
Good luck!
Matthew
