I also learned about this amazing resource in Chicago called BuiltInChicago which I intend to use for my trip there in November. I know that theres a lot of GroupOn bashing still in the press, but you can’t deny the kickstart its had on the local Chicago tech community. Every city should have a “BuildIn” program.

I wish every city could have an 1871.

We were talking about a company, Factual (disclosure my firm is an investor), which was founded by one of LA’s most talented Internet entrepreneurs, Gil Elbaz , who as co-founder of Applied Semantics (purchased by pre-IPO Google for $102 million and now Google AdSense) is responsible for a large portion of the Internet’s monetization.
