That's a really informative post, tptacek. Thanks.
How do you feel that Chicago rates on "serendipity creation" (which I meant to ask in the OP, and seems like we could classify it separately from regular "networking")? Does it feel like a place where you can walk into non-official/industry events like coffeeshop/co-working-esque places and find collaborators? In a similar vein, do you see geographical clustering of startups, with the attendant bump-into-people at the deli counter effects?
- thoughtpalette 14y agoI feel like the "serendipity creation" is overall at a good level. I overhear conversations about startups, design and programming in general all over Chicago. There are Geographical clusters. From my personal experience there's only 2/3 "locations/buildings" that I know are the startup buildings. And Chicago is a super small city. I run into people I've met at meetups on the train and downtown all the time by chance. It's an enjoyable location :}
