Chicago startup funding approaching 2000 levels: Will this time be different?

Here are a few slides on venture dollars raised and deals done in Chicago since 2007 and how this compares to 2000.

Mostly, this is terrific news. Chicago is attracting a much larger share of US venture capital than it used to:  roughly 3.5% in 2013 versus ~1% percent in most of the prior decade.

There are good reasons to believe this run will be different than 2000 (for Chicago and the whole US), but on the chance of another bust, startups need to plan ahead.

  1. Hey there, I think your website might be having
    browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Opera, it looks fine
    but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, awesome blog!

  2. Excellent post. Keep posting such kind of info on your
    blog. Im really impressed by your site.
    Hello there, You have done a great job. I’ll certainly digg it and
    individually recommend to my friends. I’m confident they will
    be benefited from this site.

  3. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of
    your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  4. Simply want to say your article is as surprising. The clearness in your post is just spectacular and i could assume you are an expert on this subject.
