Chicago Inno is rolling out a membership and we hope you'll join.

We believe that entrepreneurs define the future of our local economies. We believe authoritative, original, boots-on-the-ground reporting about those driving our cities forward is critical to the health and vibrancy of an ecosystem. 

And we believe that nobody does this better than Inno

To continue to be the best source for local innovation, Chicago Inno is transitioning to a subscription model called Inno+, which will cost $5/month and grant you access to everything on Chicago Inno and our 44+ other Inno properties. If you're unfamiliar with the breadth of the Inno network and where we are, learn more here. If you have found value in our work and reporting over the years, please join the Inno community and subscribe here.

Inno+ officially goes live on Monday, October 25, but you can subscribe now. We sincerely appreciate your support!

Since our launch we’ve covered the journeys and growth of countless startups, spotlighting evolutions of all shapes and sizes, from pitches and Series A rounds to acquisitions and IPOs. This fall, we will be following in the footsteps of many of the startups we’ve showcased, evolving to help fuel our growth and best serve you, our readers.

Here’s what you need to know
