The Chicagoland Entrepreneurial Center is holding a popularity contest and it’s possible you could win. Yes, the CEC is teaming up with the sixth annual Momentum Awards Dinner — “the one night where every member of the entrepreneurial community can come together to celebrate a year of accomplishments while setting the tone for the upcoming year” — to give particularly trail-blazing startups a shot at presenting on a special pitch night at 1871. The catch? Yup, you have to be a cool company. It’s going to be fairly obvious if you nominate yourself, but I’m sure you won’t be the only one doing so if you choose to. Just note that, well, that isn’t very cool.
You can nominate a company over on here. Good luck!
