Hey Chicago,
I spent some time with founder Jessica Alter of Founder Dating yesterday and believe this is a great platform to help spur new quality venture creation... not only in Chicago, but across the country.
For whatever reason, Chicago has been slower to materialize than other cities... the city is about to be unlocked and needs your interest to be able to leverage this platform.
I am sure that many of you may have ideas that you are thinking about pursuing, but looking for the right partners... OR you may want to start a new company, but don't have an idea yet. If you think you have what it takes, go check out this site.
Happy Founding,
Michael

Perhaps you've heard about FounderDating - a premier online network for entrepreneurs to connect and find cofounders. Think of it as an invite-only LinkedIn for cofounders - extremely high quality (founders or early employees from: Stackmob, Snapfish, Zynga, Gilt and Loggly, just to name a few) and balanced by skill sets (50% engineers).
They've built an amazing network that spans from SF to NYC and we should join! They've launched a way for any city to become a part of the network. All we have to do is get at least 50 applications submitted iand we're currently 1https://members.founderdating.com/unlock AWAY > https://members.founderdating.com/unlock . I think we'd all agree on the importance of finding the right cofounders plays in fostering entrepreneurship and having access to entrepreneurs in the Chicago area and across N.America is valuable. Chicago should really be on top of this list - Toronto, DC, Las Vegas, Detroit and Norfolk, VA have already done in it in a few days! Let's get the community moving, be the next to unlock this week and show Chicago's entrepreneurial pride!
Start applying and spreading the word to others in your network. You do NOT need an idea to apply --> https://members.founderdating.com/application
