Chicago is bursting at the seams with passion, inspiration, aspiration and a wealth of innovation, which is why I am very proud to announce that Startup Grind Chicago.
It’s an amazing opportunity to learn from the best, network with other members of the startup community, and improve your chances of entrepreneurial success. As is tradition in Chicago, we are starting off big hosting crowdSPRING co-founder Ross Kimbarovsky.
In 2007, Ross left a successful 13-year career as a trial lawyer to pursue his dream of founding a technology company (in part so that he could wear shorts and sandals to work every day) by co-founding crowdSPRING - the world’s #1 marketplace for crowdsourced graphic design, industrial design and writing services. crowdSPRING is helping to re-shape advertising and marketing around the world by giving clients of all size access to 122,000 talented designers and writers. crowdSPRING (winner of numerous national and international awards) has helped tens of thousands of buyers from 100+ countries (including some of the world’s best Brands and agencies) meet their creative needs.
Ross mentors entrepreneurs through Founder Institute and Excelerate Labs, and frequently speaks to entrepreneurs, small business owners and marketers about crowdsourcing, marketing, and entrepreneurship. There will be other surprises as well, so come join us!
