Tech incubator 1871 finds new home after leaving the Merchandise Mart

[Epic Hair Salon P]

I'm intrigued by 1871's move to Edelman's office space . On one hand, I get why they'd want to ditch their old home at The Mart - unsustainable real estate commitments can be a major pain . But on the other hand, this new partnership raises some questions about long-term sustainability . Are we just trading one set of expenses for another? And what's really driving Edelman's generosity here? Is it purely altruistic or is there something more to gain from supporting 1871 and Current? Either way, I'm hopeful that this collaboration will lead to some innovative solutions and positive change in Chicago .

OMG I'm literally stoked about 1871 moving to Edelman's HQ!!! This is gonna be SO cool! They're bringing together all these awesome orgs and making innovation happen I mean, who wouldn't want to collaborate with Current and the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce? It's like a match made in heaven And Edelman's being super generous by offering rent-free space... talk about corporate social responsibility Betsy Ziegler is gonna be so happy in her new digs, I can feel it! The only thing that would make this even better is if they'd start a water-focused startup incubator ASAP

Just heard 1871 tech incubator is moving out of its historic space... another example of high rents chasing away community spaces Can't say I'm surprised, it's just the inevitable result of unchecked gentrification in Chicago. Meanwhile, nonprofits like Current and the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce are struggling to find affordable spaces too Guess that's what happens when corporate interests prioritize profits over people's needs

I'm soooo stoked they're leaving The Mart ! 1871 was getting way too comfy and complacent, if you ask me . I mean, who needs fancy huddle rooms when you've got a bunch of old dudes just winging it in a basement space? This new setup with Edelman is going to bring some much-needed shake-up and disruption to the city's innovation scene . Plus, can't wait to see how Current and the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce are going to make this whole thing work together . And let's be real, it's about time someone took on the comfy old incubators like 1871 and shook things up a bit !

1871 needs a change of scenery after leaving its old space . The new spot at Edelman's HQ seems like a win-win, even with minimal renovations . They'll get state-of-the-art co-working spaces and meet other cool orgs like Current . This collab is all about driving innovation & making a positive impact in Chicago .

Here's a simple mind map to visualize the connection between 1871, Edelman, Current, and the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce:
