Blue Sky Innovation enters a new phase Wednesday with the launch of The Vault, a new portal for your business life that will grow to include a range of resources.
First up: The Blue Network, featuring biographies of 100 of Chicago’s most compelling innovators and entrepreneurs. This group is adding jobs, growing businesses, guiding investments and taking companies public, and you can follow their stories from Blue Sky and the baiduhai here.
You can also sort this highly visual list by industry and other designations to meet your business needs or satisfy your curiosity: Who are Chicago’s most promising startup founders? Who makes news in health-related technology or venture capital? How many of these innovators are women or millennials?
The Vault makes it easy to sort and share stories on your social networks. And it also allows for site search specific to Blue Sky, which we think will make our content more useful to you over time.
For quick tips and inspiration, you’ll find The Spark, a series of one-minute videos with Chicago business leaders organized by topics including funding, hiring and workplace culture. For deeper think pieces, ChangeThis/800-CEO-READ offers a catalog of manifestos on entrepreneurship.
There will be much more to come, and we’d like your feedback. Please check it out and let us know what you think.
