I dug into the Chicago tech scene going back ~50 years. How many successful tech companies were founded here? Who is behind them? How much value have they generated? I struggled to find good data, so I did some research...

Congrats to @Hello_GoAI on their $85M Series A led by @UpdataPartners with participation from existing investors @LAUNCH.
This brings the Chicago Tech $100M Club to 155 companies.

I know he was a hothead and certainly left a bad taste in the mouths of some teammates and fans. But as a non-Cubs fan, it’ll never sit right with me that Carlos Zambrano didn’t make the Cubs’ 150 team. It felt like he defined an era of Cubs baseball when I was growing up.

Over the past few years it feels like there's been an ultra-concentration of attention, as a company you're either in the mix or you're not in the mix. So many otherwise successful and capable people are feeling left out/passed over and this is bad

A fan built an alternate MLB app. The league hired him. @LemireJoe sportsbusinessjournal.com/Ar…
#1 condiment. Mayo is polarizing so tartar sauce will never top the charts, but mayo + pickles + capers is as good as a condiment gets.
