A few months back one of our members at 1871, Tamara Habib from Firelily (a crowdfunding platform for donors who want to help with disasters), recommended I have one of her colleagues from Field Innovation Team do a workshop on disaster response.

1871 is pleased to announce the successful conclusion of the first round of partnerships between global consulting firm A.T. Kearney and 1871 member companies Unbranded Designs, Heirlume, Savvo, and Let’s Play Please. The member companies were able to receive valuable feedback and strategic recommendations from the AT Kearney team, and the AT Kearney consultants were exposed to young, innovative, and disruptive companies that operate in spaces with enormous potential for growth. A second round of partnerships will begin in mid-August and will enable additional companies to benefit from access to A.T. Kearney’s extensive resources.

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.
