Eric,

Great work and well deserved.

Chicago is a great location for many entrepreneurs to develop real world technologies that people use. The Tech Cocktail platform is simply an extension of this ideal and has allowed us to make a lot of great contacts locally.

Congratulations, Eric!
It was more than an award . . . it was an acknowledgement. Your work and commitment shows in every event.

Chicago is lucky to have you back with us.

Eric — Congratulations. You guys absolutely deserve the award for how you’ve brought together the tech and entrepreneurial community and given it more visibility in Chicago and other areas. Because the concentration of tech/entrepreneur types in the Midwest is so much lower than in Silicon Valley, a catalyst and an effective marketer is needed to bring together those people and help make connections within and outside that community. A recent report said Wisconsin has more than 80,000 people employed in high tech, so it looks like we need TECHcocktail to collaborate on event in Milwaukee soon to connect those 80,000 people as well as others passionate about technology!

Keep up the excellent work.

Bob W.
