Welcome, Chicago Entrepreneurs!

If you created anything that is for sale on a shelf somewhere, then this is the group for you. Perhaps you invented something, wrote a book that got published, or made a film that is now for sale at retail stores? If so, join this group to be around others who can understand your journey more than your friends and family.

This is for a specific subset of entrepreneurs. Despite this group's title, simply running your own business isn't what this group is about. It is for those who have created something unique. If you started a Real Estate or some other kind of business, I recommend the other entrepreneur meetup groups. This is for people that created something new.

This group is not for networking or using other's connections to further your product/idea/business. It is not for the aspiring who want to be shown how.

This group is simply about being around others who have also created something out of thin air and can understand your journey. I created this group because I invented a product and need to be around others who can relate.

Being self employed is not a requirement, but you must have created something already.

Thanks!
