1871 Statement on Changes to Cloud-Based Technology Taxes in Chicago

July 7, 2015 by J Blaszczykiewicz

There has been a lot of discussion in recent days objecting to the City’s recent announcement that it will continue to enforce a long-standing tax on the use of certain streaming and cloud-based technologies. This is primarily because the enforcement and collection of the tax would hinder the development of startups whose businesses rely upon or provide cloud computing and related services. Taxes like this would conflict with Mayor Emanuel’s agenda to make Chicago the premier location to develop new technology businesses, an agenda that the Mayor has pursued with great success over the past four years.

There’s nothing quite like the feeling you get when your intuition pays off and people behave exactly as you predicted (and hoped for or dreaded) or when things turn out precisely as you expected. You could also call these moments the result of educated guesses or extra-sensory perceptions. However you describe the process, the exhilaration’s exactly the same. It’s always a rush to be right.

There is no question: the technology start-up scene in Chicago has changed. Today, we have more talent and resources. Our tech incubator, 1871, has been a major driver of this evolution. It is a billboard that hangs over Chicago promoting tech entrepreneurship. On a personal level, 1871 has helped me find my true calling and grow my business. I look forward to watching it mature.
