I'm up north a bit in Madison, Wisconsin, and my co-founder and I have definitely been interested in what's going on in Chicago. I'd love to connect with more Chicago founders and learn more about the scene.
Next time you're down here, gimme a shout. Would love to meet up for coffee and help you get the lay of the land.
Also, if you happen to be in town during any of our Entrepreneurs Unpluggd (http://entrepreneursunpluggd.com) events, that's one place (of many great places) to get started.
entrepreneurs unplugged is a great event (As tim mentioned), and Technori Pitch (http://technori.com/thepitch) is another one to check out. I"m the CTO for Technori.
