5 Takeaways You Need to Know from Founder & CEO of Ocient & P33 Chicago's Chair, Chris Gladwin’s Journey in #ChicagoTech 🚀 🏙️Chicago is more than a business hub – Chris Gladwin, a serial entrepreneur behind Cleversafe and Ocient, chose Chicago over Boston and Silicon Valley for its balance of tech potential and high quality of life. 🏡Livability matters – Chicago offers a more affordable lifestyle compared to tech hubs like the Bay Area, attracting top talent that sticks around for long-term projects. 👩💻Building strong teams is easier here – Gladwin found that salaries in Chicago are competitive, but employees get more value for their money, which leads to better retention and stability for complex, long-term projects. 🌍 Remote work isn’t a barrier to success – Half of Ocient’s employees are based in Chicago, with the rest working across seven time zones. Despite the distance, productivity is higher than ever. 💻P33 Chicago is raising Chicago’s global profile – As co-founder and chairperson of P33, Gladwin is working to position Chicago as a leader in quantum tech and other innovation sectors. Quantum could be the key to putting us on the global map! Let’s keep pushing Chicago forward! 💪 https://lnkd.in/g48Dpqxz #ChicagoTech #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #QuantumTech #P33

📤 Monthly LinkedIn Article: What I heard at Chicago Climate Tech Week was that startup founders need faster de-risking earlier in the technology development lifecycle. I’d love to see us do more to help! #ChicagoClimateTechWeek

Last week, our first Neighborhood-Series North Lawndale TechRise Competition, in partnership with the Breedlove Entrepreneurship Center at the YWCA Metropolitan Chicago officially came to a close!🎉 We previously shared the inspiring story of Bobby Price and the journey that led to the founding of his barbershop Principle Barbers, but now we had the privilege of having Bobby himself on the mic. Hear his thoughts, as a North Lawndale native, as he shares how initiatives like the Neighborhood Series—and broader ecosystem efforts to unite communities and make the venture and entrepreneurship space more accessible—create invaluable opportunities for neighborhoods that are full of talent, but often get overlooked. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible 💪! We're looking forward to seeing you at the next one (more details to come...).
