Last week, 1871 member Learnmetrics was one of four companies to earn a DEMO God award at the 2014 DEMO Enterprise conference in San Francisco. The achievement is awarded to select companies that are able to deliver a four-minute pitch with style, passion, and clarity in addition to demonstrating a high likelihood of commercial success. DEMO conferences around the world offer startups using emerging technologies and new product innovations the chance to pitch their products on the same stage that launched the likes of E*Trade, Salesforce, and Tivo. In a competitive process, DEMO tours the country looking for the most qualified applicants to present their companies to the world.

Unfortunately, it is common knowledge that women are underrepresented in technology. In fact, only 5% of technology startups are women-founded, according to Women 2.0. This is all the more alarming when we realize that women-owned startups are actually much more likely to succeed than those run by men. It is with this imbalance in mind, along with a strong desire to support a more diverse startup community in Chicago overall, that 1871 is announcing 1871 FEMtech, a new incubator for women-led startup companies that will launch in Fall 2014 and live right here at 1871.
